CHEAP TRICK - She's Leaving Home lyrics
rate meWednesday morning at five o'clock<br />
As the day begins<br />
Silently closing her bedroom door<br />
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more<br />
<br />
She goes downstairs to the kitchen<br />
clutching her handkerchief<br />
Quietly turning the back door key<br />
Stepping outside she is free<br />
<br />
She<br />
(We gave her most of our lives)<br />
Is leaving<br />
(Sacrificed most of our lives)<br />
Home<br />
(We gave her everything money could buy)<br />
She's leaving home after living alone for<br />
(Bye bye)<br />
So many years<br />
<br />
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown<br />
Picks up the letter that's lying there<br />
Standing alone at the top of the stairs<br />
<br />
She breaks down and cries to her husband<br />
Daddy our baby's gone<br />
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?<br />
How could she do this to me?<br />
<br />
She<br />
(We never thought of ourselves)<br />
Is leaving<br />
(Never a thought for ourselves)<br />
Home<br />
(We struggled hard all our lives to get by)<br />
She's leaving home after living alone for<br />
(Bye bye)<br />
So many years<br />
<br />
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away<br />
Waiting to keep the appointment she made<br />
Meeting a man from the motor trade<br />
<br />
She<br />
(What did we do that was wrong?)<br />
Is having<br />
(We didn't know it was wrong)<br />
Fun<br />
(Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)<br />
Something inside that was always denied for<br />
(Bye bye)<br />
So many years<br />
<br />
She's leaving home<br />
(Bye bye)<br /><br />
