[Verse 1]
He says to her, "Why do you do it?"
She says to him, "Why do you stay?"
Then they say unspoken words to explain it
He says, "Baby, well, I hate to see you this way"
I hate to see you
I hate to see you cry

[Chorus]
Well, you can get her
But you can't keep her
And you can't catch her fall
She will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives
The Imperial

[Verse 1]
She sits across the table, the same glass table
Cries to her friend, "Why am I so alone?"
He says, woah, baby, baby, baby, baby
This is the path you have chosen
She probably goes under another name
Well, that's a good idea

[Chorus]
So, you can get her
But you can't keep her
And you can't catch her fall
Well, she will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives
The Imperial Hotel
[Bridge]
Who's there?
Where has she gone?
But, I think she just went home

[Verse 2]
Sits across the table same glass table
And she cries to her friend, "Why am I so alone?"
He says, "Woah, woah, baby oh, my baby"
You have to know, you have to know

[Outro]
Yeah, she knows in her heart
Well, he will stand by her
Anywhere, don't cry, baby
You know where she lives
Don't cry baby, I can save you
Don't cry baby, I can save you
