Well just the other night I come home After three months of constant grind and travel And I went sniveling I went crawling around to my girlfriend's house And she came down hard upon me And she ground her finger into my breastbone And she said She said: "You don't make me feel... like I'm a woman... anymore And you don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more You don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more And I know I know it's been a long time Seems like it's been go-ing on forever And my heart My heart is beating Too big It's beating too big for the space that's meant to hold it So good-night Goodnight my little lovely As we turn As we turn down the lights Say good-bye Goodbye to the naked truth Your skin is looking weary And your eyes are closing down on the day I know, I know it's been a long time Seems like it's been going on forever But just as black is white Yeah and just as night is day The light is going to leave you And you're gonna fade away So goodnight, goodbye my lovely As we turn, as we turn down the lights Say goodnight, goodnight to the naked truth Your skin is looking weary And your eyes are closing down on the day
