Where does love go When you're not in love How does it feel when nobody wants it Tell me does it float around Like a little lost cloud When a heart is not its home What does love do When it's not being used Feeling like just don't belong Tell me is it laying awake In the middle of the night Just thinking 'bout what went wrong 'Cause when I look in your eyes - it's just not there When I hunger for affection - the cupboard is bare I don't know why I keep hanging on When love's got the message and its already gone Why am I always the last to know Tell me why is it always me alone Still dancing when the party's over Why am I always the last to see Just a fool who believes you're still in love with me Even love can see it's over I'm always the last to know What do I do Till I'm back on my feet Do I hang around and try to pretend That I'm really over you And it won't take long Till love says it's my turn again 'Cause when I look in your eyes - it's just not there When I hunger for affection - the cupboard is bare I don't know why I keep hanging on When love's got the message and its already gone Why am I always the last to know Tell me why is it always me alone Still dancing when the party's over Why am I always the last to see Just a fool who believes you're still in love with me Even love can see it's over I'm always the last to know The next time I fall I'll be taking my time To find out if her heart is mine Why am I always the last to know Tell me why is it always me alone Still dancing when the party's over Why am I always the last to see Just a fool who believes you're still in love with me Even love can see it's over I'm always the last to know
