Sheandacute;s Leaving Home Lyrics

(lennon / mccartney)

 

 Wednesday morning at five o'clock

 As the day begins

 Silently closing her bedroom door

 Leaving the note that she hoped would say no more

 She goes downstairs to the kitchen

 Clutching her handkerchief

 Quietly turning the back door key

 Stepping outside she is free

 She (we gave her most of our lives)

 Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)

 Home (we gave her everything money could buy)

 She´s leaving home after living alone for so many years

 Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

 Picks up the letter that´s lying there

 Standing alone at the top of the stairs

 She breaks down and cries to her husband

 Daddy our baby's gone

 Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly

 How could she do this to me

 She (we never thought of ourselves)

 Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)

 Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)

 She´s leaving home after living alone for so many years

 Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away

 Waiting to keep the appointment she made

 Meeting a man from the motor trade

 She (what did we do that was wrong)

 Is having (we didn´t know it was wrong)

 Fun (fun is the thing money can´t buy)

 Something inside that was always denied for so many years (bye bye)

 She´s leaving home (bye bye)
