Shes Leaving Home

Title: She's leaving home

Artist: The Beatles

Album: Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins

Silently closing her bedroom door

Leaving the note that she hoped would say more

She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching a handkerchief

Quietly turning the backdoor key

Stepping outside she is free

She (we gave her most of our lives)

Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)

Home (We gave her everything money could)

She is leaving home after living alone for so many years

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown,

Picks up the letter that's lying there.

Standing alone at the top of the stairs,

She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone.

Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?

How could she do this to me?

She (we never thought of ourselves)

Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)

Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)

She's leaving home after living alone for so many years

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away

Waiting to keep the appointment she made

Meeting a man from the motor trade

She (what did we do that was wrong?)

Is having (we didn't know it was wrong)

Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

Something inside that was always denied for so many years

She's leaving home bye bye
