Lyrics

Couldn't See

Verse 1
I'd been spending so much time on sideways glancing
Looking over shoulders left and right
I couldn't see in front of me
Couldn't see you leaving me
Couldn't see me lonely here tonight
Sitting lonely, on my own tonight
Chorus
I couldn't see you leaving me
Too busy looking round
At other women all dressed up
Fit to paint the town
I couldn't see me sitting here
You gone on your way
Couldn't see you leaving me
This way
Verse 2
I'd been captivated watching other women
Lots of sideways glancing left and right
I couldn't see in front of me
Couldn't see you leaving me
Couldn't see me lonely here tonight
All deserted, on my own tonight

Chorus
I couldn't see you leaving me
Too busy looking round
At other women all dressed up
Fit to paint the town
I couldn't see me sitting here
You gone on your way
Couldn't see you leaving me
This way
Verse 3
In my wildest dreams I never thought you'd leave me
Leave me sitting lonely in the night
Sitting here in misery
Thinking 'bout you leaving me
Staring straight ahead, not left and right
Staring into space, not left and right

Chorus
I couldn't see you leaving me
Too busy looking round
At other women all dressed up
Fit to paint the town
I couldn't see me sitting here
You gone on your way
Couldn't see you leaving me
This way
Reprise
I'd been spending so much time on sideways glancing
Looking long at every pretty sight
I couldn't see in front of me
Didn't see you leaving me
Wouldn't be sat lonely here tonight
Staring straight ahead, not left and right
Staring into space, not left and right

I couldn't see
I couldn't see
Couldn't see.
