The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're older
And it's all because
Of the man that got away
No more his eager call
The writing's on the wall
All those dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray
The man that won you
Has run off, he's undone you
That great beginning
Has seen its final inning
Don't know what happened
It's such a crazy game
No more that all-time thrill
'Cause you've been through the mill
And never a new love
Will be the same
Good riddance, good-bye
Every trick of his
You're on to
But fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier, it's tougher
Hope you burn up
Tomorrow he could turn up
There's just no letup
The live-long night and day
And oh, since this world began
There is nothing sadder
Than a one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away
Good riddance, good-bye
Every trick of his
You're on to
But fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier, it's tougher
There's still a hope he'll turn up
Tomorrow you could burn up
There's just no letup
All the live-long night and day
And oh, since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
There's nothing sadder than a one-man woman
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier, it's tougher
There's just no letup
For a one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away
