She Is Leaving Home Lyrics by Beatles

She Is Leaving Home

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hope would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free

She [We gave her most of our lives]
Is leaving [Sacrificed most of our lives]
Home [We gave her everything money could buy]
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, bye

Father snores as his wife gets into the dressing gown
Picks up the leter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me

She [We never thought of ourselves]
Is leaving [Never a thought for ourselves]
Home [We gave her everything money could buy]
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, bye

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from a motor trade

She [What did we do that was wrong]
Is having [We didn't know it was wrong]
Fun [Fun is the one thing that money can't buy]

Something inside that was always denied for so many years
She's leaving home, bye, bye.
