lyrics

Bobby just stood there with a broken jaw
He’d heard something snap when it dropped through the floor
He knew it was coming, he just didn’t know when
His baby was leaving and wouldn’t be coming back again
Well now, she had here reasons and they weren’t just him
But she was taking the kids and she’d packed all their things
She said she was tired, that she needed a change
She said she still loved him and that he wasn’t to blame

And he cried: 
“Then baby, don’t you do it
Oh honey, don’t you say it
Oh darling, don’t you leave me alone”

But it was too late, she’d made up her mind
She told the children to kiss their daddy goodnight
So Bobby hit the bottle like in days gone by
It wasn’t too long before he was cursing the sky

And he cried: 
“Oh baby, why’d you do it?
Oh honey, why’d you say it?
Oh darling, why’d you leave me alone?”

In the small hours of the morning as gas filled the air
In the small hours of the morning, Bobby whispered a prayer

Karen just stood there by the front door
She’d come to say sorry for what she'd said before
Cos she’d made a mistake, she’d broke her lover’s heart
She’d come to try and make a new start
There was no answer, but she still had her key
She let herself in but then fell to her knees
Cos there was Bobby, laid out on the floor
With a broken heart and a broken jaw

And she cried:
 “Oh Bobby, why’d I do it?

Oh Bobby, why’d I say it?

Oh Bobby, why’d I leave you alone?”
