When Love Has Gone | ||||

She was only seventeen and she wanted more from life than this He saw her photograph didn't look like any other He said, "I'll give you hopes and promises And other things that you don't possess Take whatever you can get you're on your own And there ain't no turning back" And she went all the way until she didn't need him anymore Chorus: Well there's no turning back and you know that your baby's in black And all you can say is goodbye when love has gone And anyway that you choose well maybe you win or you lose What in the world can you do when love has gone He was only thirty-five and he expected more from life than this He kept her autograph dedicated to his mother He said "I want that girl but she'll never know How I'm left with this emptiness Once she gave me her respect Now it's gone and I just can't get it back" And he knew every day that she would never need him anymore Chorus | ||||
