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
