I'll take the blame for you for taking one
chance away from me at getting over this
and what you were to me. Your work is done.
I'm laughing, after all we're getting too old for this
and what a pretty night, what a pretty night...
you finally fit into my shoes, I'm never dressed for the occasional invasion of surprises, I don't get surprised.

You think your secrets safe with you,
I'll catch it swinging through the grapevine.
It's time I let you go,
and here's looking at you kid.
your last word comes out slower
than you thought it would
its all you ever wanted

But you couldn't see me coming with the lights out,
you're gonna find out
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.
Gung ho you let your guard down
you're nothing but a write-out,
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.

I'm taking shame with you for taking too...
too many years that could have lasted
now we'll never get back.
But tonight the moon will set the mood.
I'm a train routed off course just to keep on track

and what a petty crime, what a petty crime...
how could you be anything but greedy
when its all that you know.
Give another try, give another try.
But if your one for the money
than you're too good to show on time.
I let you down.
and here's looking at you kid.
Now that I found and caught you red handed
I'm the last man standing

But you couldn't see me coming with the lights out,
you're gonna find out
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.
Gung ho you let your guard down
you're nothing but a write-out,
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.

But you couldn't see me coming with the lights out,
you're gonna find out
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.
Gung ho you let your guard down
you're nothing but a write-out,
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.

Take my goodbyes with love and meaningful lyrics.
I got you this time.
I got you this time.
A closing line unannounced and breaking your spirits...
a curtain call cry
I got you this time. I got you this time.

It's happened all before with you
the one to call it short but girl
when I say that it's over than its over for good.

We're nothing now but history.
I'll leave you reminiscing in a diary regretting paying dues.

But you couldn't see me coming with the lights out,
you're gonna find out
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.
Gung ho you let your guard down
your nothing but a write-out,
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.

But you couldn't see me coming with the lights out,
you're gonna find out
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.
Gung ho you let your guard down
you're nothing but a write-out,
I'll leave you raining on your own parade.

But you couldn't see me coming with the lights out,
soon you're gonna find out
This is an outrage
Gung ho you let your guard down
you're nothing but a write-out,
I'll leave you raining on your own parade
I'll leave you raining on your own parade
