She's Leaving You - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

You were planning to stay in, you had it carefully planned

Your coat was hanging in the hall, your hat was in your hand

You walked over to your woman, your pale distracted love

Who was trying to put the wrong hand into the wrong glove

Are you leaving, dear?

Are you leaving, dear?

Are you leaving, dear?

Are you leaving, dear?

So you start reading all her books, all her magazines

Just to get a better understanding

Your brain feels like it’s dead

Your eyes are hanging out your head

You were hoping for something less demanding

Well what you see staring out at you from a photo book

A man with an eyepatch and a bent, bloody hook

You wished to God that you never went and took a look

Cause it’s in that moment that you know that

She’s leaving you

Yeah she’s leaving you

Well now she’s taking you to bed

Her legs wrapped round your head

You’re losing her to some crazy kind of motion

You keep coming up for air

You look around and stare

Find you’re swimming into completely different oceans

You’re wondering if she’s thinking about some other man

She says, «C'mon, baby, you know you are my loverman»

You’re going nuts you don’t know exactly what to say

She says, «Don't worry, baby, this is just my little way

Of leaving you"

Oh, man, she’s leaving you

Guitar solo!

She keeps saying, «Hey, don’t hate me»

She keeps saying, «Hate is just some kind of failure of the imagination»

She keeps saying things like this

Now she’s giving you a kiss

Now she’s got you dragging her to the station

The sun just slipped out of the sky, this is a black letter day

Her train is moving down the platform, and is drawn away

You’re crying buckets, she gives her glove a wave

She says «Oh c’mon, baby, that’s no way to behave

When I’m leaving you"

Oh yeah, she’s leaving you

Oh yeah, she’s leaving you

Yeah, she’s leaving you

She’s leaving you

Yeah, she’s leaving you

Yeah, she’s leaving you

Yeah, she’s leaving you
