Well
I didnt know it would come to this but
Thats what happens when youre on your own
And youre alright
With 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

And I dont mind
Living on bread and oranges
No no
But I gotta get to and from
Where I come
And its gonna take money to go

Oh no
Oh oh
Oh oh

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
Cause its nice to love and be loved
But its better to know all you can know
I said
Its nice to love and be loved
But Id rather
Know what God knows

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

I can do this
Once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since I was born

Well
I didnt know it would come to this but
Thats what happens when youre on your own
And youre alright
With letting nice things go
