She's Leaving Home
(Lennon/McCartney) 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 turing 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) She's leaving
home after living alone For so many years. Bye, bye
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there Standing alone at
the top of the stairs She breaks down and cries to her
husband Daddy our baby's gone. Why would she treat
us so thoughtlessly How could 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) She's leaving home after living alone For
so many years. Bye, bye Friday morning at nine
o'clock she is far away Waiting to keep the
appointment she made Meeting a man from the motor
trade. She What did we do that was wrong Is having
We didn't know it was wrong Fun Fun is the one thing
that money can't buy Something inside that was always
denied For so many years. Bye, Bye She's leaving
