Girl, you can head North, South, East or West
Which way you go, I couldn't care less
It doesn't matter, if this is where
You want to be
You can take the couch, you can take the chair
It makes no difference, I don't care
Can't you see, it's all the same to me

[Chorus:]
You can put me on some island
In the middle of the sea
Or lock me in a prison
With no chance of ever being free
Or run a dagger through my heart
Stand back and watch me bleed
Oh, baby you can leave
It's all the same to me

Day or night, rain or shine
I'll be alone, still losing my mind
Without you, it's all the same to me

[Chorus]

I could never love someone else
If I can't have you
You might as well leave

[Chorus]

Yeah baby if you leave
It's all the same to me
It's all the same to me
Yeah baby if you leave
It's all the same to me
