(Lennon / McCartney)

|
Wednesday morning at five o'clock
|
As the day begins
|
Silently closing her bedroom door
|
Leaving the note that she hoped would say no more
|
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
|
Clutching her handkerchief
|
Quietly turning the back door key
|
Stepping outside she is free
|
She (we gave her most of our lives)
|
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
|
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
|
She´s leaving home after living alone for so many years
|
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
|
Picks up the letter that´s lying there
|
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
|
She breaks down and cries to her husband
|
Daddy our baby's gone
|
Why would she treat us so 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 leaving home after living alone for so many years
|
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
|
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
|
Meeting a man from the motor trade
|
She (what did we do that was wrong)
|
Is having (we didn´t know it was wrong)
|
Fun (fun is the thing money can´t buy)
|
Something inside that was always denied for so many years (bye bye)
|
She´s leaving home (bye bye)
|
