Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
[Verse 2]
Is she what you wanted
Or has time changed your mind?
Has your dream love gone crazy?
And what brings you here tonight?
[Verse 3]
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
[Verse 4]
I can see you're hurtin'
But I'm not sure if it's real
How can I really hold you
When I don't, when I don't know how you feel?
[Verse 5]
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
[Verse 6]
Okay, come on in
You be my lover, I'll be your friend
You don't have to tell me
And I won't ask again
[Verse 7]
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
[Verse 8]
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
[Verse 9]
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
