Sweet Miranda made a burning in my throat
And I'm slumped in the bathtub now, like a sunken boat
So when will you leave me?
When will you leave me?
When will you leave me?
Leave me alone for awhile

'Cause I can't try
To be happy without you

Leave me to my bourbon
It's a private kind of thing
And don't bother to tell me
What you really think

And when will you leave me?
When will you leave me?
Leave me alone for awhile
'Cause I can't try
To be happy without you
To be happy without you

'Cause I left everything that meant something
So I could become something

If you ever see me in the arms of a gutter out in the 'burbs
Just say "man, he's finally getting all the love he deserves"
So when will you leave me?
When will you leave me?
When will you leave me?
Leave me alone for awhile
