She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands

So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me
tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way

Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare

If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way

(Instrumental section)

Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's heart begins
to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street

Repeat Chorus (Ad-lib/fade-out)
