Poor Adeline, poor Adeline
Where's your heart? Where's your mind?
First in the crowd, last in the line
The world can be so unkind

The winds gonna blow, the rains gonna come
Where do you hide? Where do you run?
Poor Adeline, poor Adeline
Where's your heart? Where's your mind?

Oh, how a girl can fade away
Black and blue and shades of gray
Whose gonna save you now?

Poor Adeline, poor Adeline
Take a rest, take your time
You'll never know, you'll never find
All you took you left behind

The winds gonna blow, the rains gonna come
Breakin' us down, one by one
Poor Adeline, poor Adeline
Where's your heart? Where's your mind?

Oh, how a girl can fade away
Black and blue and shades of gray
Whose gonna save you now?

Poor Adeline, poor Adeline
Where do you run? Where do you hide?
Poor Adeline, poor Adeline
Where's your heart? Where's your mind?

Oh, how a girl can fade away
Black and blue and shades of gray
Oh, what a mess you've made today
Whose gonna save you now?
