Once a girl In mommy's world Laughing, rhyming, singing songs In her newly learned tongue Now a girl In this world Married to a stranger's name Writing to him all the same And, oh, but Where can she go If she's going alone? Where can she go If she's going alone? Where can she go To avoid the love goodbye? All the same Letters answer letters in a round about way "Sweet darling" they commence But she no longer feels that way Oh, there's not a soul In the streets below She's sitting by the window Clinging to the phone Dialling endless numbers No reply Love goodbye Where can she go If she's going alone? Where can she go If she's going? Where can she go If she's going alone? She's going alone She's going alone
