Oh, why do they leave?
Oh, why do they leave?
On the day that you needed them the most
Simple cards and things
Rose-coloured sunsets, no flowers for me
Simple cards and things
Rose-coloured sunsets, no flowers for me

Lover, why do you leave?
Lover, why do you leave?
On the day I want you for me?

Say, say it ain't so
That he will take you tomorrow
And I will sit here today (the worst)
Simple cards and things
Rose-coloured sunsets, no flowers for me
Simple cards and things
Rose-coloured sunsets, curtains for me

Lover, why do you leave?
Lover, why do you leave?
On the day I want you to be
The one?
