So long, see you around
Seen all I wanna see of this town
I'm out of time and I'm out of tears
Out of my mind and I'm out of here

Who needs the heartache baby who needs the pain
Who needs to hang around and take the blame
Who needs a woman to make him blue
Who needs you baby - I do

Why are you wearing that negligee
Sure makes it hard to walk away
I gotta go I can't take this abuse
Why are you smiling would I lie to you

Who needs the heartache baby who needs the pain
Who needs to hang around and take the blame
Who needs a woman to make him blue
Who needs you baby - I do

You've got your fingers in my hair whisperin' in my ear
Filling my head full of doubts
Tell me just what you think you've got
I can't live without

Who needs the heartache baby who needs the pain
Who needs to hang around and take the blame
Who needs a woman to make him blue
Who needs you baby

Who needs the heartache baby who needs the pain
Who needs to hang around and take the blame
Who needs a woman to make him blue
Who needs you baby - I guess that'd be me

Who needs the heartache baby who needs the pain
Who needs to hang around and take the blame
Who needs a woman to make him blue
Who needs you baby
