Katy's Leaving Babylon
I should have known that it would turn out badYou ain't a girl to do things by halfI should have known that this crazy loveWould come swooping down and swallow us upI guess I could have been like every other manAnd not give a damn that women hurt so badNow I'm sitting here trying to make some peace within my mindWith the late movie flickering back and forth across my eyesOh, the nights are so longAnd Katy's leaving BabylonI should have known the girl was not that strongAnd Katy's leaving BabylonI didn't count on such a long, long tripI took your love and never paid for itIt's too late now to think about a woman's pride'Cause Katy's past thinking about suicideAll of a sudden you know, that axe comes downBefore you even think about a turnaroundWomen need loving more than we can understandBut hey! don't get down about itJust do the best that you can Oh, the nights are so longAnd Katy's leaving BabylonI should have known the girl was not that strongNow Katy's leaving Babylon Aus Songtexte Mania
