Lyrics

Was There Anything I Could Do

She comes home and she's happy

She comes home and she's blue

She comes home and she tells him

Listen baby we're through

I don't know what happened next

All I know is she moved

Packed up her bags and her curtains

Left him in his room

Was there anything I could do?

Was there anything I could do?

She went out with her paint box

Paints the chapel blue

She went out with her matchsticks

Torched a car wash too

And I don't know where she's living

All I've got is a card

A picture of her at the pyramids

A knife held to her heart

Was there anything I could do?

Was there anything I could do?

She came down from the mountains

Said goodbye to her guru

And she went back to her room

Lost herself in voodoo

And I don't say that I blame her

People don't know what they want

If you spend your life looking behind you

You don't see what's in front

Was there anything I could do?

Was there anything I could do?

Was there anything

Was there anything I could do?

Was there anything

Was there anything I could do?

Putting out her fire

Putting out her fire

Putting out her fire
