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