He comes home at the same time each day
he tells you how you’re feeling
he doesn’t care how you’re dealing
you dream you could just float away
Oh Kathy you don’t know just what you’ve got
the other boys would fight to have a chance
you’re the one who showed me how to love
you’re the one who taught me how to dance
Oh, Kathy
You cry at the same time each day
you paint your nails at the window
ponder where the time goes
you ask yourself, why should you stay?
Oh Kathy you don’t know just what you’ve got
the other boys would fight to have a chance
you’re the one who showed me how to love
you’re the one who taught me how to dance
Oh, Kathy
I can’t be the one to force you to see
you’re losing parts of you
and now you’re losing me
let’s run away oh, Kathy please
he’ll never care what you can do
He’ll never set you free
Oh Kathy you don’t know just what you’ve got
the other boys would fight to have a chance
you’re the one who showed me how to love
you’re the one who taught me how to dance
Oh, Kathy
