Just like a bird, you left your robin's nest And just like all the rest, you flew away Mmm, a little bit of soap Will take away your perfume eventually But a little bit of soap Will never take away the memory Of your name in the night As I go through the lonely years A little bit of soap Will never wash away my tears I'll never lose the memory Of your name in the night That I call through the lonely years A little bit of soap Will never wash away my tears Mmm, a little bit of soap Will never wash away my tears FADE Mmm, it's gonna never, never, never, Uh-huh, wash away my tears
