Well, I didn´t know it would come to this
But that´s what happens when you´re on your own
And you´re alright letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and made of flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them all
I don´t mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I gotta get to and from where I come
And it´s gonna take money to go
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh...

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
´Cause it´s nice to love and be loved
But it´s better to know all you can know
I said it´s nice to love and be loved
But I´d rather know what God knows
Oh no, oh no, oh no...

I can do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since I was born

Well, I didn´t know it would come to this
But that´s what happens when you´re on your own
And you´re alright letting nice things go
