It's been a bloody stupid day
My baby called me up to say
"Don't call me love
Don't call me"
It's not all she said
I truly love her
But I know
I'm bad for her
I'm bad and so
At least she may forgive me for my honesty
My friend came back from being abroad
He was rich and
I was overawed
His ship came in
I'm standing on the harbor wall
Another friend
The one I love
Turns to me
"Have you seen enough?
Let's hang about there's nothing
Like a sunset into night"
It's been a bloody stupid day
Don't leave the light on baby
My baby called me up to say
Don't leave the light on baby
I'll see you sometime maybe
Don't leave the light on baby
It finally dawned on me tonight
Best to go down without a fight
I know you will forgive me for my honesty
Don't leave the light on baby
Don't leave the light on baby
I'll see you sometime maybe
Don't leave the light on baby
