I miss you, baby, since you been gone
This place is lonesome, girl, with you not at home
So I decided I'd drop you a line
Just to let you know I think I'm losin' my mind

Now I don't sleep much, but when I do
Every dream I dream, I dream of you
I can't believe what this is doin' to me
Looks like your memory just won't let me be

How could you leave me with a broken heart
In a million pieces, I've got no place to start
Walkin' in circles in need of a friend
This is the saddest I guess I've ever been

I know someday I've got to make up my mind
Forget the past and leave it all behind
Right now that's somethin' that I just can't do
Your love is one thing I thought I'd never lose

How could you leave me with a broken heart
In a million pieces, I've got no place to start
Walkin' in circles, oh, in need of a friend
This is the saddest I guess I've ever been

How could you leave me (how could you leave me) with a broken heart
In a million pieces (how could you leave me) I've got no place to start
Walkin' in circles, oh, in need of a friend
This is the saddest that I've ever been
