When she's got to say goodbye

After staying out late on a weeknight

And I walk on the side of the road

Under industrial lights

It can be such a shame

How short the night and day

All that I've been for so long

Is trying to get right here

And sometimes, I can't make myself shuck and jive

Perfection's on her tongue

Rolls out in monotone

Oh yeah, yeah, that's where the heartache goes

And I do the same, you know

I do the same, you know

Here's the final row

I do the same, you know

It's just you can't see it

Chips and dip

When she's got to say goodbye

Staying out late on a weeknight

Sometimes, I can't make myself shuck and jive

'Cause where the heartache goes

I do the same, you know

Oh yeah, yeah, I do the same, you know
