VERSE 1

(Intro)
How would this be if I was alone tonight

(Riff 1)
Maybe then my love everything would turn out right

I wish that this were easy but you know that it never is

It seems like hearts get broken during things like this

And if you see her walking down along these streets

Her body softly swaying to her heart’s broken beats

And if you see her tell her that I’m doing fine

And tell her if she feels like talking she should call me sometime

And I can’t fight it anymore

I can’t stop it once it starts

(Riff 2 repeats)

Well it’s a shame babe

Well it’s a shame babe

Well it’s a shame babe

The way we’ve torn it all apart

(Intro and Riff 1)

And if you see her let her know I wish her well
And if things will get much better tell her only time will tell
‘Cause if she’s lonely well I’m alright
‘Cause you know
When it falls down I’ll be there to pick it up one more time
