Lyrics

What you gonna say when you finished singing this song?
What you gonna say when the final verse is done?
You're gonna pick up the telephone
And tell her what you've done
There ain't no road back down the way you've come (x2)

What you gonna say 'bout a feeling that is gone?
What you gonna say when you're heart is on the run?
You can try to hide it in your eyes
Or feign a little bit of surprise
You can only lead this double life so long (x2)

What you gonna say about a new love that's so young?
What you gonna say to the family you'd begun?
You can sing your jokes and songs
And string some folks along
But what you gonna say when your singing is all done? (x2)

What you gonna say when you find you're on square one?
What you gonna say when your plans have come undone?
You're gonna pick up your two feet
Go marching down the street
You can say your new life has begun (x2)

What you gonna say when you finished singing this song?
What you gonna say when the final verse is done?
You're gonna pick up the telephone
And tell her what you've done
There ain't no road back down the way you've come (x2)
You can say your new life has begun (x2)
