Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins Silently closing her door Leaving the note that she hoped would say more She downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief Quietly turning the backdoor key Stepping outside she is free.
She (We gave her most of our lives) is leaving (Sacrificed most our lives) home (We gave her everything money could buy) She's leaving home after living alone For so many years. Bye, bye
Father snores as wife gets into her dressing gown Picks up the letter that's lying there Standing alone at the top of the stairs breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone Why would she treat us thoughtlessly How could she do this to me.
She (We never thought of ourselves) is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves) home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's home after living alone For so many years. Bye, bye
Friday morning at nine she is far away Waiting to keep the appointment she made Meeting a man from the motor trade.
She did we do that was wrong) is having (We didn't know it was wrong) fun is the one thing that money can't buy) Something inside that was always denied For so many years. Bye, bye She's leaving home. Bye, bye
