Every Time You Leave

You break a few bones, you break a few nails
 It's like you set me down when you set your sails
 You send a few letters, but they're never enough
 It gets rough, every time you leave me alone
 I don't do so good on my own (Every time you leave me alone)
 I need a telescope, not a telephone (Every time you leave me alone)
 Stray cat strutting through a snowy backyard (Every time you leave me alone)
 It gets hard, (every time you) pick up and go
 Table seats four and a couch seats three
 Bed for two and a chair for me
 Tweedle Dum, where's Tweedle Dee?
 Sittin' by the fire and watching it burn (Every time you leave me alone)
 Things feel different when you return (Every time you leave me alone)
 They say that good things come to those who stay (Every time you leave me alone)
 Come on and stay! (Why do you gotta go away?)
 Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
 Why do you always gotta take the long way home?
 Every time you leave alone (Why do you always gotta take the long way home?)
 Every time you leave alone (Why do you always gotta take the long way home?)
 Every time you leave alone (Why do you always gotta take the long way home?)
 Every time you leave alone (Why do you always gotta take the long way home?)
