Day dawns and here comes the news Baby's gone and here comes the blues Took the pen and paper and threw 'em on the floor There's nothing left to write anymore She's mighty gone and I'm heartsick and sore Why why why don't baby live here anymore She's mighty gone She's not the kind that's easy to live with Not the gentle kind a man can be real with She spoke out in protest I spoke out in anger Turned her cross my knee even that didn't change her
She's mighty gone and I'm heartsick and sore Why why why don't baby live here anymore She's mighty gone I'll pick up the dishes that she threw on the floor I'll paint the walls and I'll buy a new door I'll buy her perfume until it makes her sick I'll make her realize it takes two heels to click She's mighty gone and I'm heartsick and sore Why why why don't baby live here anymore She's mighty gone
