Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, if we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
[PreChorus]
Always the same thing, can't you see?
We've got everything goin' on and on and on
[Chorus]
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
[Verse 2]
Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close too see
I can feel your body move
Doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
Just can't you see we've got everything?
Baby, even though you know
[Chorus]
Every time you go away, yeah
You take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you, ooh
[PreChorus]
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
'Cause baby, can't you see we've got everything?
Goin' on, and on, and on
[Chorus]
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
[Bridge]
Every time you go away (Pickin' up the pieces)
You take a piece of me with you (Be careful)
Every time you go away (Every time you go)
You take a piece of me with you (Every time you go away, you take a piece of me)
Every time you go away (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You take a piece of me with you (Every time you go)
