Torn like an old dollar bill 
 Girl let them say what they will 
 That no one should hurt you 
 And that's all I seem to do 
 That no one should desert you 
 And that's all I seem to do 
    I got to tell you, goodbye mama 
 We've taken this too far 
 Been trying to tell you what's going on 
 Trying to make it easy on you 
 Trying to make it better 
 Make it easier on you 
 It's all I came to do 
 It's all I came to do   
 Now I'm down in the light 
 And I must be dreaming it 
 Cause I see clearly, I see angels here 
 Bringing something to me, Mother Mercy   
 I told a lie, I didn't mean it 
 Goodbye mama, I've taken this too far 
 Been gone a while 
 Been gone a long way, oh yeah   
 I don't want to hurt you 
 It's all I seem to do 
 Don't want to desert you 
 It's all I seem to do   
 I got to tell you, goodbye mama 
 I've taken this too far 
 Been down a while 
 Been down a long way   
 Trying to make it easy on you 
 Trying to make it better 
 Make it easier on you 
 It's all I came to do 
 It's all I came to do 
 It's all I came to do 
 That's all been down a long 
 Been down a long, long way
