Tom Waits — Baby Gonna Leave Me lyrics

Lyrics

Well I stood on the corner
Until my feet got wet
I stood by the faucet
Till the sink filled up I stood by the window
Until the moon came up My baby’s bought a ticket
Long as my clothes line
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na My baby went and left me in a '49 Ford
Going down the highway in a 49 sword
My baby ripped my heart out
With every turn of the moon
Somebody told me There’s never been a rose without a thorn
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na
Well I’m just another sad guest
On this dark earth
And if I was a tree
I’d be a cut down tree
And if I was a bed
I’d be an unmade bed
I’ll get my 32/20 and it’ll have to do Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na Gone like the wind in the meadow
And the rain on the hill
You even left your lipstick
And your powder and your blush
Baby gonna leave me On a Grey Hound bus
The stars are melting
All across the sky
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na I let the dog out
But he didn’t come back
Stood on the corner until
My feet got wet
Baby leave me in a '49 Ford
I stood by the window
Untill the moon came up Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na
