Lyrics

He was too good to me
How will I get along now?
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun

When I was mean to him
He'd never say, "go away, now."
I was a queen to him
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true

You'd never recognize the room
The pictures all have different frames now
And all the chairs are rearranged now
Somehow, I've thrown out every souvenir
Yes, there've been changes made
Since you stayed here

You'd never recognize the street
The neighbor's kids play different games now
The colors in the trees have changed now
Strange how I've hardly thought of you this year
Yes, there've been changes made since you stayed here

The same address, the more or less
More happens, less matters, I guess

You'd never recognize my life
The party-givers know my name now
And when I cry it's not the same now
Somehow, I never waste a single tear
Yes, there've been changes made
Since you stayed here

You'd never recognize the room
You'd never recognize . .
