Beverley Mahood – The First Day (You Wake Up Alone) lyrics

He said this and she said that
She called her momma and he blew his stack
He gave her hell and she gave it right back to him too
Well anger clouded his mind last night
But things look clearer as the first daylight
Slips through the curtain
And he opens his eyes to that motel room
CHORUS:
"On the first day when you wake up alone
Ain't that the first day it all hits home
You can slam the door
You can scream and shout
Till the lights come on
In the neighbours House
You can get in your car
Make some tracks
Swear you're never comin' back
But you learn there's a difference
Between going and gone
Yeah on the first day you wake up alone"

Well she's sitting there in that sunny little kitchen
In emotional wreakage and some broken dishes
Surround her and she wishes she could see his face
Now did he do something crazy-she knows how he gets
She's wondering where he went when he left
And how'd they ever get into this mess in the first place

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
"He pulls in the driveway
She runs to the door
He says I'm sorry baby
She says what for"

REPEAT CHORUS
