The mailman was early, the lawyer was late.
I filled out the papers and sent him away.
It's hard to believe you can buy your way out of love.
You called me to say that you don't have much time.
Just make out a check and sign on the line.
But could you please hurry, it can't be done soon enough.
And I'm not getting any younger,
But look at what you've done girl, to me.
I remember when you'd hold hold me so closely,
That nothing could come between.
All the words of love you told me, now what did it mean.
What did it mean (what did it mean when you'd hold me)
What did it mean (what did it mean when you told me)
What did it mean (what did it mean when you'd hold me)
What did it mean.
I thought that I'd die when you walked out the door,
Now sometimes I cry till the tears come no more.
The meaning is lost and I don't know where to turn.
Desert and pain is the web that you weave.
A vicious greed is pay when you leave.
It seems that the cost was more than it was worth.
And I'm not getting any younger,
But look at what you've done girl, to me.
I remember when you'd hold hold me so closely,
That nothing could come between.
All the words of love you told me, now what did it mean.
What did it mean (what did it mean when you'd hold me)
Was it anything (what did it mean when you told me)
What did it mean (what did it mean when you'd hold me)
What did it mean.
What did it mean (what did it mean when you'd hold me)
Where's we go wrong (what did it mean when you'd hold me)
