I could hold you in the rain
But I can't hold all in vain
And I will love you until the end
But I can't be your friend
Here he comes with all his cash
His poetry, his neat moustache
And if it's worthless, I won't pretent
That I can be your friend
So hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return to a heart that he's broken once
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return with a heart that has broken yours
I should tell you that when you sleep
If I could I would gently creep
Into your mind, that dreamed up space
To take his place
So hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return to a heart that he's broken once
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return with a heart that has broken yours
If I could I'd carry
Take you off and fly
And be the one with hankerchiefs
Every time you cry
Look, his tear gas pistol's drawn
If that's it I'll go, I'll run
If I can't be the one
So hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return to a heart that he's broken once
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return with a heart that has broken yours
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return to a heart that he's broken once
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return with a heart that has broken yours
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return to a heart that he's broken once
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return with a heart that has broken yours
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return to a heart that he's broken once
And hey, don't let him come home
Don't let him return with a heart that has broken yours
