Lyrics
I'm wonderin' if you're staying
Is there a green light playing
Because I'm dying to forget her
And the way we were
Is your heart under lock and key
Is there a game to play
Because I'm wondering just why
She walked away
Without a thing to say
Tell me girl are you listening
To everything I'm saying
Because I couldn't understand her
Why she didn't care
Is your heart somewhere far away
Is it there to stay
Because I'm wondering just why
She walked away
Without a thing to say
Well she would cry through the night
I'd try to make things alright
She wouldn't give me the time
To let her know I'm on her side
Wonderin' if you're staying
Is there a green light playing
Because I'm dying to forget her
So I must be sure
Is your heart under lock and key
Is there a game to play
Because I'm wondering just why
She walked away
Without a thing to say
