you’re love is oh, so fragile
that it breaks apart
over nothing
trivial things
one day you’re like a pussy cat
the next you’re a lion
with a mouth like “Jaws”
even you have flaws

you’ve lived alone too long
and now you’re selfish
so go enjoy your peace and quiet

‘cause she’s gone, yeah she’s gone
was it really so wrong
that she once made a mess
put a cup on the wrong shelf
when you wake up in the dawn
would you rather she be gone?

you say you want a lover
but how soon you forget
what is real, or no big deal

you think you’re unpretentious
but you’re really uptight
at a certain age
can you never change

you cry yourself to sleep cause now you’re lonely
so now you have your peace and quiet

‘cause she’s gone, yeah she’s gone
was it really so wrong
that she once made a mess
put a cup on the wrong shelf
when you wake up with the dawn
would you rather she be gone?

run away, run away something’s in the wrong place
empty drawers and empty rooms
Saturday afternoons
when you wake up with the dawn
would you rather she be gone?

and you were such a lucky guy
one day you’ll have your regrets
but you’ll be too proud to ask her back
I’ll place my bets

so it’s done, yeah it’s done
is this really much fun
empty drawers and empty rooms
Saturday afternoon
when you wake up with the dawn
would you rather she be gone?

runaway, runaway
stupid things that you say
do you want to draw blood
do you want to throw stones
for a nickel or a dime
would you rather she be gone?
was it really so wrong?
would you rather she be gone?
