(Walt Aldridge)

She can't find the words to break it to me
'Cause she always was the gentle kind
She's hopin' I'll hear it from a friend somewhere
She's hopin' I'll read between the lines.

But it comes as no surprise
'Cause she told me with her eyes
So watch her untie the tie that binds
She's got a single thing in mind.

--- Instrumental ---

She's already gone, except in body
It's just a matter now, of time
Well I should have seen the storm clouds gathering
But he who won't look is just as blind.

So there's only me to blame
When my woman dropped my name
So watch her untie the tie that binds
She's got a single thing in mind.

--- Instrumental ---

So watch her untie the tie that binds
She's got a single thing in mind...
