You came in just as I was leaving with my denim bag
everythng else I own is sitting in a taxi cab
and my hope like the rain kept falling,
the sun is gone I guess
there's no dinner in the oven,
no forwarding address
Don't ask me why I'm running
you should have seen this coming
Take a minute just to think about it baby
take a minute just to work it out
I feel like a stranger in your town
every evening it's another showdown
It's a circus but I ain't your clown
I'm tired of fighting now I'm riding out
Here's my key and the ring you gave me
you can have them back
I was counting the nights I've been lonely
but I lost track
I've spent all this time not knowing
and you wonder why I'm going
Take a minute just to think about it baby
take a minute just to work it out
I feel like a stranger in your town
every evening it's another showdown
It's a circus but I ain't your clown
I'm tired of fighting now I'm riding out
Don't ask me why I'm running
you should have seen this coming
Take a minute just to think about it baby
take a minute just to work it out
Take a minute just to think about it baby
take a minute just to work it out
Take a minute
