I heard a lover lie, saw a lady cry her heart out

He was on his way, she would have to play the part out

And though he told her what she did was right

He only loved her when the moon was bright

And he was leavin'



She didn't understand, it didn't go the way she planned it

She thought the ties were strong

Then it all went wrong, she landed

She come down hard



[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)]



She was noticing just lately

She had seen a thing or two

Things would get a little shaky

And there was nothin' she could do

She go, "boo hoo hoo"



She looked around the place and there was no one there to save her, oh no

And now her eyes would burn

He would not return, she knew it

And though he told her what she did was right

He only loved her when the moon was bright

And he was leavin'

She come down hard



Leavin'

Leavin' (come down hard)

Leavin' (come down hard)

Leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin'...
