"All Dressed Up For Nothing" lyrics

Thought I was onto a winner
But he did something to make me cry
So I went out on a whim
I told myself I would rather die
Than be like my mother
I got away with it all
I never understood why she bothered
Leaving that key under the door

Isn't it so sad? (So sad?)
I get all dressed up for no one
(No one)

I run away sometimes (Ah)
You know I get scared sometimes (Ah)
I just need space in time
And I need to know, will you leave the light on?

I got to meet your sisters
I think they liked my name
They told me you were sad
And I said, "I know I feel the same"
They told me you were sad
Spent time with your father
I think he got my joke
I was too busy laughing to keep
Up with the way that I spoke

Isn't it so sad? (So sad?)
I get all dressed up for nothing
(No one)

I run away sometimes (Ah)
You know I get scared sometimes (Ah)
I just need space in time
And I need to know, will you leave the light on?
I get lost sometimes (Ah)
Won't find my way back in time (Ah)
For fear about losing my mind
I need to know, will you leave the light on?
I need to know, will you leave the light on?
I need to know, will you leave the light on?
