horizontal departure

and you said you'd never leave me

in fact you said you'd be my only one

and i said you'd never glean me

baby

for things you do when you are only having fun

you said you'd cry a river

i thought you meant you'd cry a river of tears

you'd rather die than live without me

baby

but little girl

you're so insincere

you know you count your blessings

but now i find that you were counting sheep

counting sheep

and then i try to court your feelings

i caught your eye and then you caught my cheek

all the things must come to fruit now

and there you stood so proud the apple of my eye

you said you'd never leave me baby

but little girl

that's the reason why

whoa - that's why i have to leave you all alone

whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone

let's go collect our prize now

so entertaining we were number one

number one

the judge is hypnotised now

but after all we both been fooled for so damn long

so face the crowd and take a bow now

bow now

'cause one more time and it will all be done

'cause i must leave the show to you now baby

my last performance has just begun

whoa - that's why i have to leave you all alone

whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone --

stop and think for a minute

baby

as they bring the curtain down

another break

then another maybe

the choice will not be found

i taught you style

the ducking and the weaving

we were famous for

and he is his

and he is yours

and you can take the floor

the floor

whoa - that's why i have to leave you all alone

whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone

i don't know - so you turned around and found another fool

i don't know - so you turned around and found another --
