I broke my world in pieces yesterday
 
 I woke to find my angel gone away/astray
 
 I was loud and I was strong
 
 I was proud but I was wrong
 
 didn't realise the price I'd have to pay
 
  
  long ago when sharing things was new
 
 I did the things I thought a man should do
 
 so I tried to break her will
 
 but it was me who paid the bill
 
 'cause instead of breaking one heart
 
 I broke two
  
 
 what's the use in askin' where she's been to
 
 what's the use in askin' what she's done
 
 I'm the one who told her she was leavin'
 
 so what's the use in askin' where she's gone
  
 
 loneliness is tearin' me apart
 
 I swear to God I'll make a brand new start
 
 so I'm on the telephone
 
 sayin' angel, please come home
 
 before you break your poor old daddy's heart
  
 
 what's the use in askin' where she's been to
 
 what's the use in askin' what she's done
 
 I'm the one who told her she was leavin'
 
 so what's the use in askin' where she's gone
  
 
 instrumental solo
  
 
 anything you need I'll be there/I'm tryin'
 
 heaven knows I'm cryin;'
 
 angel
  
 
 what's the use in askin' where she's been to
 
 what's the use in askin' what she's done
 
 I'm the one who told her she was leavin'
 
 so what's the use in askin' where she's gone
