She's out of my life she's out of my life And I don't know whether to laugh or cry I don't know whether to live or die And it cuts like a knife she's out of my life It's out of my hands it's out of my hands To think for two years she was here And I took her for granted I was so cavalier Now the way that it stands she's out of my hands I have learned love is not possession and I have learned that love won't wait I have learned love needs expression but I learned too late She's out of my life she's out of my life Damned indecision and cursed pride Kept my love for her locked deep inside And it cuts like a knife she's out of my life
