| It all began in Spring when he was sat in that chair looking so old and distant and half dead | |
| And he began to think of all the books he hadn't read and all the memories lost and that's when he said | |
| “Oh baby don't you look at me no more | |
| I'm lazy untalented and poor | |
| I can't give you everything that you ask for | |
| Why don't you go go go?” | |
| She said “How'm I gonna go when you're sitting on my coat? | |
| Looks like I will have to stay til you're on your feet again | |
| Baby you're just the same as me, I feel that way from time to time, | |
| But you will be fine” | |
| He didn't hear her words, he didn't see her face – he was mired in his heartache | |
| He could only think of all the drugs and drink | |
| And what he could've been and what his life could mean | |
| “Oh baby why'm I so disappointing? | |
| What happened to me life being promising? | |
| I can't give you everything that you ask for | |
| Why don't you go go go? | |
| She said “How'm I gonna leave when you're crying on my sleeve? | |
| Looks like I will have to stay at least until the washing's dry | |
| Baby you're just the same as me, I feel that way once in a while, | |
| But everything'll be alright.” | |
| This time he heard but he misunderstood | |
| He took the wrong wrong wrong way out of the wood | |
| He began to rise, he looked in her eyes and said | |
| “Oh baby aren't you trying to help me? | |
| Is it too much to ask for your sympathy? | |
| Didn't I give you all the love that you asked for? | |
| And now you're gonna go?” | |
| She said “Where'm I gonna go when you're the only home I know? | |
| Looks like I will have to stay at least until the taps run dry | |
| Maybe you're not the same as me but I still think I could make you smile | |
| You'll see, you will be fine, yeah we'll be fine.” |
