When I get to Warwick Avenue Meet me by the entrance of the tube We can talk things over a little time But promise me you won't step outta line When I get to Warwick Avenue Please drop the past and be true Don't think we're OK just because I'm here You hurt me bad but I won't shed a tear I'm leaving you for the last time baby You think you're loving but you don't love me I've been confused outta' my mind lately You think you're loving but I want to be free Baby you hurt me When I get to Warwick Avenue oh We'll spend an hour but no more than two Our only chance to speak once more I showed you the answers now here's the door When I get to Warwick Avenue I'll tell you baby, that we're through I'm leaving you for the last time baby You think you're loving but you don't love me I've been confused outta' my mind lately You think you're loving but I want to be free Baby you hurt me All the days spent together, I wish for better But I didn't want the train to come, now it's departed I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started. All those things here together, when I wished for better And I didn't want the train to come You think you're loving, but you don't love me I want to be free. Baby you've hurt me, you don't love me, I want to be free, baby you hurt (heard) me.
