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 --
