Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Steppping 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 )
For so many years. Bye, bye
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
Daddy, our baby's gone
Why could she treat us so thoughtlessly
Why could she do this to me
She (We never thought for ourselves )
home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by )
For so many years. Bye, bye
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy )
For so many years. Bye, bye
She's leaving home bye, bye
