Charlene

lyrics

You said you went round to your mom, but I went by
and I never saw your car, oh no
you say you feel it in your soul and I can hear the band playing but
that’s not a song, and I know that it’s not love
that’s not a song, and the spirit…well it has moved on
Charlene, you know it’s over baby Charlene, don’t make me crazy
Charlene, you know it’s over and it’s time to say goodbye.
You said that you were working late, and the switchboard it was down
you say there is nobody else and I can see your lips moving but
that’s not a song, and I know that it’s not love
that’s not a song, and the spirit…well it has moved on
Charlene, you know it’s over baby Charlene, don’t make me crazy
Charlene, you know it’s over and it’s time to say goodbye.
You say that he is just a friend, I think I know just what you mean
you say feel it in your soul and I can hear the band playing but
that’s not a song, and I know that it’s not love
that’s not a song, and the spirit…well it has moved on
Charlene, you know it’s over baby Charlene, don’t make me crazy
Charlene, you know it’s over and it’s time to say goodbye.
