Everytime You Go Away
Hall And Oates · The Essential Daryl Hall & John Oates [2005]
Why do we loose so many tears
Whoa, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same things
But can't you see we've got everything
Going on and on and on
And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you, you
Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move
But doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on singing the same theme
Cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know
That everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Just don't care
Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you, you
Cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know
That everytime you go away
(Everytime you go away)
(Everytime you go away)
Why you have to go away right now
(Everytime you go away)
(Everytime you go away)
Go on and go away, girl
(Everytime you go away)
I don't understand why you gotta go, girl
(Everytime you go away)
Go on and go free
Even though you mean so much to me
(Everytime you go away)
I don't understand, baby
(Everytime you go away)
Oh baby, baby, baby, everytime you go
(Everytime you go away)
You don't know, you don't know
Beause you never understand, girl
(Everytime you go away)
Why you have to go away right now
(Everytime you go away)
Everytime you go, girl
(Everytime you go away)
Go on, go on and go free
(Everytime you go away)
Baby, you mean so much to me
I'll never understand why you gotta go, girl
(Everytime you go away)
I don't understand, girl
(Everytime you go away)
I don't know go, I don't know go
I don't know go, I don't know go
I don't know go, I don't know go
(Everytime you go away)
Go girl, go girl, gotta go girl, you won, babe
(Everytime you go away)
Baby, baby, baby
(Everytime you go away)
Baby....
(Everytime you go away)
