Katy's Leaving Babylon Lyrics

	Clapton
	I should have known that it would turn out bad,
	You ain't a girl to do things by half.
	I should have known that this crazy love,
	Would come swooping down and swallow us up,
	I guess I could have been like every other man,
	And not give a damn that women hurt so bad,
	Now I'm sitting here trying to make some peace within my mind,
	With the late movie flickering back and forth across my eyes.
	CHORUS:
	Oh – the nights are so long,
	And Katy's leaving Babylon,
	I should have known the girl was not that strong,
	And Katy's leaving Babylon.
	I didn't count on such a long, long trip,
	I took your love and never paid for it,
	It's too late now to think about a woman's pride,
	'Cause Katy's past thinking about suicide,
	All of a sudden you know, that axe comes down,
	Before you even think about a turnaround.
	Women need loving more than we can understand,
	But hey! don't get down about it,
	Just do the best that you can -
	Oh – the nights are so long,
	And Katy's leaving Babylon,
	I should have known the girl was not that strong,
	Now Katy's leaving Babylon.
