So it's raining again,
And the winds are gonna roar,
I've been swept through the street
To be washed up at your door;
But you're with him I know,
So I'll crawl back later on
Why do I still need you so?
But for love, I'd be gone
[CHORUS]
But for love, I'd be gone
On a jet leavin' today
For a place in the sun far away
I don't remember the next verse, but the song ends with
So I say to myself
You fool, why do you linger on?
And my heart cries out to me,
But for love, I'd be gone
[Repeat CHORUS]
