When she began to lie, you really should have let her go
The love you wanted this to be is somewhere down the line
Yeah Baby, tell me why the tears are falling from your eye
You set it by her soulful smile, the fire in her eye
You're learnin' how to talk about it, you're learnin' how to bend
Lovin' that girl next thing you knew, you'd turned away from the thing you do
To live your life without regret and make it work with what you get
Yeah Baby, tell me who you're gonna give your lovin' to?
You didn't then, but now you know
Your grandma and her grandma are sittin' 'round heaven discussin' the law
That girl who catches every eye or the one you can set your compass by
Lovin' that girl was not your crime, livin' without her gonna take some time
And the way she goes that extra mile
It's like you're learning how to walk all over again
You thought that you were home free, you thought you had her well in hand
You'll find her eventually
Yeah Baby, tell me how you're gonna keep that promise now?
But there were things about her you didn't understand
Tears of laughter, tears of grief, are they the tears of a captured thief?
