Crystal Gayle – Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For Lyrics

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin’ door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Is she what’
You wanted?
Or has time’
Changed your mind?
Has your dream’
Love gone crazy?
And what brings’
You here tonight?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin’ door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
I can see’
You’re hurting
But I’m not sure’
If it’s real!
How can I’
Really hold you?
When I don’t’
When I don’t know how you feel?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin’ door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Okay, come on in!
You be my lover!
I’ll be your friend!
You don’t have to tell me, and I won’t ask again!
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin’ door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin’ door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
Why have you left the one you left me for?
