Slow Boat To China

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
