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 p***ed the earrings that you gave me
Gold and made of flowers dangling
And i almost cried as i sold them all
And 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...
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.
