Well it won't be but a week or two And you'll be wanting somebody new loving you It's something you've done A hundred times before Yet, you can see I been spreading myself thin, too It's a lonely phase we been going through Don't get up. I can find my own way to the door CHORUS I can see you are an angel Whose wings just won't unfold Tune up your harp Polish your old halo 'Cause the only kind of man That you ever wanted Was the one that you knew You'd never hold very long And you're sitting there crying Like I'm the first one to go Now you may have thirty lovers behind you I may feel you but I sure can't find you Seems you would've found your own self by now Some nights those lovers' Tears are coming back Faces in your dreams fingers in your back Echoes of the memories for crying out loud CHORUS What a beautiful sight you are in your sleep I'm leaving 'cause believing got me in too deep I guess that's easy enough for a man to say But we'd never agree if we talked all night You get so heavy and I'm traveling light Good-bye, jaded lover Undercover queen-for-a-day CHORUS Yeah you're sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go
