Baby, if we can't solve any problems Why do we lose so many tears? Oh, so you go again When the leading man appears Always the same theme But can't you see we've got everything Going on and on and on And everytime you go away You take a piece of me with you And everytime you go away You take a piece of me with you Go on and go free Maybe you're too close to me I can feel your body move But does it mean that much to me I can't go on singing the same theme 'Cause you can't see we've got everything Baby, even though you know That everytime you go away You take a piece of me with you You just don't care Everytime you go away You take a piece of me with you 'Cause you can't see we've got everything Baby, even though you know That everytime you go away Everytime you go away Everytime you go away Everytime you go away Everytime you go away
