Is there a woman out there who'll take me

Cuz I've been far too hurt by this man

Apparently I don't give him leeway

Apparently, I don't understand



There's the last word we were meant to have

With the crossing light turned white too fast

There's the last kiss we were meant to share

There's a new girl now

So he shouldn't dare



Is there a woman out there who'll take me

Cuz I need sleep with somebody soft

I take a drink, a toast to his fortune

I'm not ready yet

for coffee or talk



Cuz there are pictures i've yet to take down

and he's still watching over my cat

At a hotel, just down the street

Cuz the new girl

Prefers it like that



Is there a woman out there who'll take me

Safe from the one who's lovin' him tonight

She's even got a beautiful name

Now Rachael and James just doesn't seem right



Well, that's the way it goes

that's the way it goes



Is there a woman out there who'll take me

cuz I am drifting far off to sea

With a couple of ticket stubs to float on

And the backlight of each memory



Is there a woman out there who'll take me away

cuz I may never fall in love with a man



He was my best friend, my everything

He can't save me

Nobody can



That's the way it goes

that's the way it goes

that's the way it goes

that's the way it goes
