[Verse 1] Well I knew something was wrong when I saw the U-Haul truck That and when I said I'm home she threw something and I ducked Her furniture was missing that little pink rut tan And two big metal plates she uses to give herself a tan I said oh come on baby... we can work this out Love will find a way, that's what love's about She said, cliché after cliché that's all you can do I know what love's about... it ain't about you [Chorus] Baby I think that we should talk this out I'm ready now to make a change You know the one we talked about She said, BABY! there's no place I'd rather be Then out of here and fancy free... Don't look now don't ask how But she gone The girl is gone (guitar instrumental) [Verse 2] Later I was sitting in my single wooden chair Got up to turn the TV on, but the TV wasn't there I thought about all the things she brought into my life, Got up to make a sandwich, but I didn't have a knife I said I'm sick of this... being all alone I'm gonna order out for pizza... she'd taken the phone... About that time the lights went out... I hadn't paid the bill... I'm down at the public phone, I'm living there still [Chorus] I said... Baby I think that we should talk this out I'm ready now to make a change You know the one we talked about She said, BABY! there's no place I'd rather be Then out of here and fancy free Don't look now don't ask how But she gone The girl is gone............ [Bridge] She said you don't have a job and Lord knows you ain't got no money There's more to life on earth here than hockey night and draft beer I said ohhhh honey... she said HONEY YOURSELF! [Chorus] I said... Baby I think that we should talk this out I'm ready now to make a change You know the one we talked about She said baby.... there's no place I'd rather be Then out of here and fancy free Don't look now don't ask how But she gone The girl is gone [Outro] The girl is gone The girl is gone The girl is well... SINCE MY BABY LEFT ME I haven't found a place to dwell........ The girl is gone
