Shes Leaving Home - Al Jarreau

She's Leaving Home
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begings
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her hankerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free
She （we gave her most of our lives）
Is leaving （sacraficed most of our lives）
Home （we gave her everything money could buy）
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the note that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy my baby's gone
How could she treat us so thoughtlessly
Why would she do this to me
She （we never though of ourselves）
Is leaving （never a thought for ourselves）
Home （we struggled hard all our lives to get by）
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Got a meet man from the motor trade
She （what did we do that was wrong）
Is leaving （we didn't know it was wrong）
Fun （fun is the one thing money can't buy）
Bye Bye
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
Bye bye
She's leaving home after living alone to the last
Pick another things
Live another town
God say bey bey
