Where do you go when I'm not around?
Who do you love when I'm out of town?
The butcher, the baker
The thin undertaker who makes not a sound
Who do you love when I'm out of town?

Have all my dreams come tumbling down
Who's in your arms where I used to drown?
The old money-lender
The lonely bartender, the carnival clown?
Who do you love when I'm out of town?

Don't say it doesn't matter anyway
Because it doesn't matter what you say

All our pages are turning to brown
We're breaking up and I'm breaking down
The man in the forest
The dashing young florist, the nurse musclebound
Who do you love when I'm out of town?
Who do you love when I'm out of town?
Who do you love when I'm out of town?
