[Verse 1]
I see nothing to be gained by explanations
No need to try to say who's right or who was wrong
No need to enter into lengthy dissertations

[Refrain]
To make a long story short she's gone

[Verse 2]
I won't attempt to explain the things that happened
To put in words why she's not here would take too long
And it's all too far beyond the realm of understanding

[Refrain]
To make a long story short she's gone

[Verse 3]
The way you look at me you don't believe she loved me
But she once loved me with a love so sweet and strong
I won't try to give the reasons why I miss her so

[Refrain]
To make a long story short she's gone

[Outro]
To make a long story short she's gone
