  • (recorded version)

    Where are you going with your head held down?
    There's no one to save you
    There's no one around
    Please don't cry for me
    When I'm gone

    He tried to give you everything he had
    But you refused the good lilfe
    And left him with the bad
    Please don't cry for me
    When I'm gone
    Your good trips bum trips all the same
    A game you play like some cheap magic trick
    Your lead-on, come-on hard to get
    And yet no different from every hung up chick

    You came to him in sorry
    Bad love had marked your past
    He had love to give you
    But for love you couldn't ask
    Please don't cry for me
    When I'm gone

    I've understood that she's no good
    She gave me hope
    A rope, that's fun
    But long enough to hang me on
    I'll leave her now but first I'll bow
    To her knack I think she's won
    I can't fight back; I'll close the door;
    A game no more, for it takes two to play

    Where are you going with your head held down?
    There's no one to save you
    There's no one around
    Please don't cry for me
    When I'm gone
