You break a few bones, you break a few nails   It's like you set me down when you set your sails   You send a few letters but they�re never enough   It gets rough, every time you leave me �lone      I don't do so good on my own   I need a telescope, not a telephone   Stray cat strutting through a snowy backyard   It gets hard, every time you pick up and go      Table seats four and a couch seats three   Bed for two and a chair for me   Tweedle Dum, where's Tweedle Dee?      Sitting by the fire and watching it burn   Things feel different when you return   They say that good things come to those who stay   Come on and stay!   Why'd ya gotta go away?      Why'd ya always gotta take the long way home?
