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 letting nice things go


Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and made of flowers dangling

And I almost cried as I sold them all.
And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I gotta get to and from where I come

And it's gonna take money to go
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...


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

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

I can't do this once more

No man can keep me together
Been broken since I was born


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 letting nice things go
