Hung Up Chick (recorded version)

 

Where are you going with your head held down?

There's no on to save you

There's no one around

Please don't cry for me

When I'm gone

 

He tried to give you everything he had

But you refused the good lilfe

and left him with the bad

Please don't cry for me

When I'm gone

Your good trips bum trips all the same

A game you play like some cheap magic trick

Your lead-on, come-on hard to get

And yet no different from every hung up chick

 

You came to him in sorry

Bad love had marked your past

He had love to give you

But for love you couldn't ask

Please don't cry for me

When I'm gone

 

I've understood that she's no good

She gave me hope

a rope, that's fun

but long enough to hang me on

I'll leave her now but first I'll bow

to her knack I think she's won

I can't fight back; I'll close the door;

a game no more, for it takes two to play

 

Where are you going with your head held down?

There's no on to save you

There's no one around

Please don't cry for me

When I'm gone
