Intro

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

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, 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, oh no,

I can 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
