I had to let my baby go

He was no longer good for me

One final kiss before I hit the road

Toward coastal highway seas

My darlin' how I loved you so

Oh, how I love you still

But you swallowed me up like Tylenol

And how very often you were ill

On a comet he came

In a red-hot blaze

Spotlight hit my baby center stage

Velvet morning sun

Peeking through the blinds

Couldn't help but let the words slip from my mind

I had to let my baby go

He was no longer good for me

One final kiss before I hit the road

Toward coastal highway seas

My darlin' how I loved you so

Oh, how I love you still

But you swallowed me up like Tylenol

And how very often you were ill

My friends don't agree

With the life he leads

They say my gentle heart loves charity

He shot me down

With his red right hand

Cold desert breeze when he promised me he'd be back

I have to let my baby go

He is no longer good for me

One final kiss before I hit the road

Toward coastal highway seas

My darlin' how I love you so

Oh, how I always will

But you swallow me up like Tylenol

And how very often you are ill
