[Intro]
Well, I didn't know it would come to this but
That's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright with letting nice things go
[Verse 1]
Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and made of flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them off
And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no, no
But I got to get to and from where I come
And it's gonna take money to go
[Chorus]
Oh, no
Oh-oh, oh-ohh, oh-ohh
Oh-ohh
[Verse 2]
In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows
[Chorus]
Oh, no
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
Oh, no
[Bridge]
I can't do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since I was born
[Outro]
Well, I didn't know it would come to this but
That's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright with letting nice things go
