I have to see her
I have to see her
I have to see her
I have to see your ladyfriend
I have to see her
I have to see her
I have to see her
I have to see your ladyfriend

I hate to wake you but I hope you understand
How the nights drag on out in these vacant lots and wastelands
I didn’t come to ask for handouts, I don’t need anything to eat
But I used to know your ladyfriend, she once belonged to me
And I have to see her

CHORUS:
(I have to see her)
Has she changed at all?
(I have to see her)
My body’s failing me
(I have to see her)
I feel so frail and small
(I have to see your ladyfriend)
I just have to see her
(I have to see her)
Just on last time
(I have to see her)
Just one last time before I die
(I have to see her)
(I have to see your ladyfriend)

You can put away your dollars; you can put away your dimes
Well I might have lost my bearings but I haven’t lost my pride
But I finally lost her photo so before my memory fades
I want to write her face across my mind then quietly go away
I just have to see her

CHORUS

Do you help her zip her dress up? Does she straighten up your tie?
Do you spiral down the ages when you stare into her eyes?
No, me and her and marriage never could agree
But you can’t bottle up the ocean it just keeps on breaking free
And I have to see her

CHORUS
