I had to let my baby go
He was no longer good for me
One final kiss before I hit the road
Toward coastal highway seas
My darlin' how I loved you so
Oh, how I love you still
But you swallowed me up like Tylenol
And how very often you were ill
On a comet he came
In a red-hot blaze
Spotlight hit my baby center stage
Velvet morning sun
Peeking through the blinds
Couldn't help but let the words slip from my mind
I had to let my baby go
He was no longer good for me
One final kiss before I hit the road
Toward coastal highway seas
My darlin' how I loved you so
Oh, how I love you still
But you swallowed me up like Tylenol
And how very often you were ill
My friends don't agree
With the life he leads
They say my gentle heart loves charity
He shot me down
With his red right hand
Cold desert breeze when he promised me he'd be back
I have to let my baby go
He is no longer good for me
One final kiss before I hit the road
Toward coastal highway seas
My darlin' how I love you so
Oh, how I always will
But you swallow me up like Tylenol
And how very often you are ill
