(Verse 1 - Vocals enter, warm and slightly raspy, full of emotion) Church bells ringin', New Year's Eve in the air (Yeah, New Year's Eve) Right there in church, baby, you laid it bare (Oh, you laid it bare) Said "This ain't workin' no more, honey, I gotta let you go" (Let you go? After all this time?) (Chorus - Vocals become more impassioned, strings swell, harmonies enter on key phrases) Divorce? Baby, divorce? Comin' outta your mouth to me? (Divorce? Oh no, no, no!) After all I done, after all we been, how can this truly be? (Tell me how, baby, how?) Didn't I love you right? Didn't I give you all my heart and time? (Didn't I, didn't I, baby?) Tell me, woman, tell me, what did I do wrong? (Tell me, please, what was my mistake?) (Verse 2 - Vocals soften slightly, tinged with confusion and hurt) Everyday I checked, "Baby, are we okay?" (Are we okay, baby?) Held you close each night, pushin' doubt away (Tryna push it away, yeah) Then the talk turned to whispers, church whispers in the air (Whispers all around, yeah) 'Bout you and your ex-man, meetin' online there (Online with him? I don't understand) (Chorus - Vocals become more pleading and desperate, horns join in to emphasize the pain) Divorce? Baby, divorce? Comin' outta your mouth to me? (Divorce? Why you sayin' that to me?) After all I done, after all we been, how can this truly be? (Tell me how, explain it to me) Didn't I love you right? Didn't I give you all my heart and time? (Everything I had, I gave to you) Tell me, woman, tell me, what did I do wrong? (Somebody tell me, what did I do?) (Bridge - Music softens, becomes more introspective, organ becomes more prominent, vocals are almost a spoken word at times) Days are draggin', weeks just crawl on by (Draggin' on and on) Prayin' and fastin', reachin' for the sky (Reachin' up high, yeah) Love ain't faded, burnin' just as bright (Still burnin' for you, baby) But silence answers, cold in the lonely night (Silence, just cold, cold silence). (Chorus - Vocals are full of raw emotion, a mix of heartbreak and lingering love, music builds to a powerful crescendo) Divorce? Baby, divorce? Still ringin' in my memory (Still ringin' in my ears) After all I done, after all we been, I'm lost eternally (Lost and alone without you) Didn't I love you right? Didn't I give you all my heart and time? (Didn't I love you right, girl?) Tell me, woman, tell me, what did I do wrong? (Tell me, please, what was it? Oh, tell me…) (Outro - Music fades out slowly, strings sustain a final chord, drums and bass soften, organ and a lone, mournful saxophone riff fade into silence. A final vocal ad-lib, whispered and heartbroken, might be included: ) (Oh baby... Wrong... where did we go wrong?)
