Wendy's sittin' next to me â'‚¬¢ She's trying hard to drink it away â'‚¬¢ And I feel the rumble of the subway Beneath the stage â'‚¬¢ And her eyes are screaming â'‚¬¢ And her lips are pursed â'‚¬¢ And this ain't her first heartache â'‚¬¢ But it feels like, it feels like the worst â'‚¬¢ And she says â'‚¬¢ Can someone tell me how this can happen â'‚¬¢ And I guess that God only knows â'‚¬¢ My heart used to be â'‚¬¢ The sweet shop of love â'‚¬¢ But now the sign on the door â'‚¬¢ It says sorry we're closed â'‚¬¢ And I hear myself tell her â'‚¬¢ Some old words I know they won't help â'‚¬¢ And then I feel guilty â'‚¬¢ 'Cause I closed some sweet shops myself â'‚¬¢ And we all talk about timing â'‚¬¢ And lifestyles and such â'‚¬¢ But to a heart that's been shattered â'‚¬¢ Those words don't mean that much â'‚¬¢ And all of our pining â'‚¬¢ It just goes to show â'‚¬¢ Don't you enter a shop â'‚¬¢ With the sign on the door â'‚¬¢ Saying sorry we're closed â'‚¬¢ And she's been through all the pain â'‚¬¢ That one can endure â'‚¬¢ And her new man thinks she loves him â'‚¬¢ But he can't be sure â'‚¬¢ And his heart pines
for Wendy â'‚¬¢ She says that's how it goes â'‚¬¢ How am I supposed to know â'‚¬¢ He can't read the sign saying â'‚¬¢ Sorry we're closed â'‚¬¢ Yeah we're closed â'‚¬¢ And she says â'‚¬¢ Can someone tell me how this can happen â'‚¬¢ And I guess that God only knows â'‚¬¢ My heart used to be â'‚¬¢ The sweet shop of love â'‚¬¢ But there's a sign on the door â'‚¬¢ There's a sign on the door â'‚¬¢ There's a sign on the door â'‚¬¢ There's a sign on the door â'‚¬¢ One more signâ'‚¬¦
