[Spoken Intro]
Have you ever been hurt by love so much 'til you really don't wanna take the chance of falling in love again?
Hahaha, I have, too
Have you ever been misused, mistreated, lied on and cheated on?
Or when someone says they love and you don't even know whether to believe them or you don't know what to do?
I have, too
Well, if you have and you realize that I'm talking about, then here's the only thing left within your heart, your mind and soul to do
One night, get yourself together and say...
[Chorus]
I'm leaving on that late, late train and I ain't coming back
I'm leaving on that late, late train and I ain't coming back
Oh, baby, baby
[Bridge]
Can't you see what this has done to me?
My heart's been broken, my words spoken, I'm still in misery
All that I can think of is the memories left behind
I've got to find myself someone someplace, so peace of mind
Hey, baby
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm leaving on that late, late train and I ain't coming back
Hey, you better believe me
I'm leaving on that late, late train, good God, and I ain't coming back
I'm serious as a heart attack
Hey, I'm leaving, baby, on that late, late train and I ain't coming back
Ol' raggedy car won't take it
'Cause I'm leaving on that late, late train and I ain't coming back
If you love me, you better come with me, baby
[Bridge]
Can't you see what you've done to me?
My heart's been broken, words been spoken, I'm still in misery
All that I can think of is the memories left behind
I've got to find myself someone someplace, somewhere, peace of mind
That's why, that's why
[Chorus]
I'm leaving on that late, late train and I ain't coming back
I'm serious as a heart attack
Yes, I'm leaving on that late, late train and I ain't coming back
You better believe me, baby
