When you left me
I was sad and I was lonely
Couldn't face the night
Without your arms to hold me
On my own
I found the way to be a woman
Who could live for more
Than the love and the touch of a man
You told me
Take the slow boat to China
Well, I did
And baby, nothing could be finer
I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you
You told me
Take the slow boat to China
Well, I did
And baby, nothing could be finer
I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you
When you left me
They said I would never make it
Now I'm better
But everybody thinks I'm faking
On my own
I'm laughing and looking like I mean it
Since you let me go
I've been doing the best that I can
You told me
Take the slow boat to China
Well, I did
And baby, nothing could be finer
I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you
You told me
Take the slow boat to China
Well, I did
And baby, nothing could be finer
I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you
And to think that you once owned me
I lived for you and for you only
If someone like you comes my way
I'll start running as fast as I can
And tell him
Take the slow boat to China
Well, I did
And baby, nothing could be finer
I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you
