Lyrics

Wendy's sittin' next to me • she's trying hard to drink it away • and I feel the rumble of the subway beneath the stage • and her eyes are screaming • and her lips are pursed • and this ain't her first heartache • but it feels like, it feels like the worst • and she says • can someone tell me how this can happen • and I guess that god only knows • my heart used to be • the sweet shop of love • but now the sign on the door • it says sorry we're closed • and I hear myself tell her • some old words I know they won't help • and then I feel guilty • 'cause I closed some sweet shops myself • and we all talk about timing • and lifestyles and such • but to a heart that's been shattered • those words don't mean that much • and all of our pining • it just goes to show • don't you enter a shop • with the sign on the door • saying sorry we're closed • and she's been through all the pain • that one can endure • and her new man thinks she loves him • but he can't be sure • and his heart pines
For wendy • she says that's how it goes • how am I supposed to know • he can't read the sign saying • sorry we're closed • yeah we're closed • and she says • can someone tell me how this can happen • and I guess that god only knows • my heart used to be • the sweet shop of love • but there's a sign on the door • there's a sign on the door • there's a sign on the door • there's a sign on the door • one more sign…
