Every Time You Leave

You break a few bones, you break a few nails
It's like you set me down when you set your sails
You send a few letters, but they're never enough
It gets rough, every time you leave me alone

I don't do so good on my own Every time you leave me alone
I need a telescope, not a telephone Every time you leave me alone
Stray cat strutting through a snowy backyard Every time you leave me alone
It gets hard, every time you pick up and go

Table seats four and a couch seats three
Bed for two and a chair for me
Tweedle Dum, where's Tweedle Dee?

Sittin' by the fire and watching it burn Every time you leave me alone
Things feel different when you return Every time you leave me alone
They say that good things come to those who stay Every time you leave me alone
Come on and stay! Why do you gotta go away?
Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
Every time you leave alone Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
Every time you leave alone Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
Every time you leave alone Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
Every time you leave alone Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
