White Town

["Women in Technology" Version - 1997]

I can't understand
After everything that we planned
How you could turn around to me
And whisper goodbye

Well I've been dropped before
But not so high off the floor
And I just can't seem to
Pick myself up again

If it's something that I said
That made you feel this way
Then I take back every word
From the first "Hello"

But most likely I know
Your parents said, "Baby, no"
And the boy you told your friends about
Just had to go

Well it's a white town with green trees
And nothing in love is free
So if it's not worth fighting for
It's worth nothing at all

["White Town" Version - 1990]

I can't understand
After everything that we planned
How you could turn around to me
And whisper goodbye

Well I've been dropped before
But not so high off the floor
And I just can't seem to
Pick myself up again

If it's something that I said
That made you feel this way
Then I take back every word
From the first "Hello"

But most likely I know
Your parents said, "Katie, no"
And the boy you told your friends about
Just had to go

Well it's a white town with green trees
And nothing in love is free
So if it's not worth fighting for
It's worth nothing at all

I can't understand
After everything that we planned
How you could turn around to me
And whisper goodbye
