Neil Sedaka — The Girl I Left Behind

You told me not to try and tie you down So I just took my place and hung around You always said that you must be free Well you couldn't see, you were losin’ me And messin' up the one good thing we had And I'm goin’ out the same way I came in The game is over now, I couldn't win My heart is all I'll have to pack For this time girl I won't be back And years from now I'll turn around and see The girl I left behind me I told myself that things would be OK You'd come around to my way any day As time went on you just stayed the same No you couldn't change or be re-arranged I'm pickin’ up the pieces of my life And I’m goin' out the same way I came in The game is over now, I couldn’t win My heart is all I'll have to pack For this time girl I won't be back And years from now I'll turn around and see The girl I left behind me I’m pickin' up the pieces of my life And I'm goin' out the same way I came in The game is over now, I couldn't win My heart is all I'll have to pack For this time girl I won't be back And years from now I'll turn around and see The girl I left behind me You told me not to try and tie you down So I just took my place and hung around...
