Since You Went Away

[00:09.03] You said you couldn't tell the doormat from my face
[00:13.87] You said if I had brains I would pawn them
[00:18.66] Could be I've finally gotten up off of my thumbs
[00:23.45] Could be that you're the one that was on them
[00:27.56] 'Cause the plants have grown
[00:29.11] The dog came home
[00:30.26] The bills are all getting paid
[00:32.88] Things are much better since you went away
[00:37.26] And I've changed my looks
[00:38.66] I read new books
[00:39.53] I've got friends that mean what they say
[00:42.65] Things are much better since you went away
[00:47.20] You said without your help I couldn't tie my shoes
[00:51.88] You said without a doubt I'd be stranded
[00:56.74] Could be that you were right and you had to fly the coop
[01:01.59] Could be the eagle finally has landed
[01:05.74] 'Cause the plants have grown
[01:06.89] The dog came home
[01:08.21] The bills are all getting paid
[01:10.86] Things are much better since you went away
[01:14.95] And I've changed my looks
[01:16.07] I read new books
[01:17.43] I've got friends that mean what they say
[01:20.35] Things are much better since you went away
[01:25.13] When I was younger I was told without another
[01:29.42] I'd be incomplete and deflated
[01:34.54] My chosen one has chosen to befriend another
[01:38.91] And to my surprise, I'm elated!
[01:43.71] 'Cause the plants have grown
[01:45.01] The dog came home
[01:46.32] The bills are all getting paid
[01:48.83] Things are much better since you went away
[01:53.09] And I've changed my looks
[01:54.49] I read new books
[01:55.57] I've got friends that mean what they say
[01:58.56] Things are much better since you went away
[02:02.20] Well, the plants have grown
[02:03.84] The dog came home
[02:05.14] And the bills are all getting paid
[02:07.77] Things are much better since you went away
[02:11.99] And I've changed my looks
[02:13.08] And I read new books
[02:14.30] I've friends that mean what they say
[02:17.19] Things are much better since you went away
[02:35.06]
