Lyrics Robert Plant

Robert Plant

Horizontal Departure

And you said you'd never leave me

And you said you'd be my only one

I said you'd never grieve me, baby

For things you do when you are only having fun, fun

You said you'd cry a river

I thought you meant you'd cry a river of tears

You'd rather die than live without me, baby

But little girl, you're so insincere

You know you count your blessings

But now I find that you were counting sheep, counting sheep

And then I try to court your feelings

I caught your eye and then you caught my cheek

All the things must come to fruit now

And there you stood so proud the apple of my eyes

You said you'd never leave me, baby

But little girl, that's the reason why

Woh, woh, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Woh, woh, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Let's go collect our prize now

So entertaining, we were number one, number one

The judge is hypnotized now

But after all we both been fooled for so damn long

So face the crowd and take a bow now, bow now

'Cause one more time and it will all be done

'Cause I must be the show to you now, baby

My next performance has just begun

Woh, woh, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Woh, woh, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Woh, woh, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Woh, woh, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Oh, stop and think for a minute, baby

As they bring the curtain down

Another drink then another, maybe

The toast might not make rounds

I taught you style, the duck and the weaving

We were famous for

And here's to him and here's to yours

And you can take the floor, the floor

Woh, woh, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Woh, woh, that's why you have to leave me all alone

I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool

I don't know, so you turned around and found another

I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool

I don't know, so you turned around and found another
