Loretta

Let it rain down on me
Your love will set me free
You better hurry now, 'cause talk ain't cheap
Oh Loretta where could you be

So I ran down to the corner store
Showed the man there a photo from the night before
He sighed and slowly closed his book
And then he stared at me with quite a puzzled look
I said, Hey man, have you seen this girl around
She left last night, left without a sound
He said if I'm not mistaken
I figure she'll be shakin' it downtown

So I fantasize
'Bout kissing her between her thighs
Until I find peace of mind
And rid the memory of her eyes
You know I can't go home
I can't go home

So I took the bus and wound up at the carnival arcade
But the only one downtown was the meter maid
I called to her and asked, Where did everybody go
She said, Don't worry about them son, they've all found their gold
Everyone but you's got someone to hold
But there might be another loner out the back with a smoke

And I fantasize
'Bout kissing her between her thighs
Until I find peace of mind
And rid the memory of her eyes
You know I can't go home
I can't go home

Loretta
Oh Loretta
Oh Loretta
Where did you go
Where did you go

So I raced around the back only to finally face the facts
She's gone on home
I know this much to be true, I'd be happier with you
Why did you have to go
Loretta why'd you have to go
I hoped to see your face once more
I gave you my heart to have and to hold
You laughed you though I made a joke
You let it all go up in smoke
You left me quite broke
At night I toss and turn while
Pictures of your sweet smile
Circle the empty space inside my head
Now I'm left here on the street
A cigarette butt at my feet
Loretta, why'd you have to leave

Loretta, where did you go
Loretta, where did you go
