There ain't no use askin' me your questions
Your answers I just don't know
There ain't no use in tellin me babe
That it's my turn to go
I'm just sittin' here readin' on the day
Watchin' all the people comin' and going my way
I never did like too much company anyway
So don't you stay, it's okay

Well there ain't no use in cryin' over your clock babe
Your time, it's rained away
Time's something you can never own babe
You sometimes gotta let it pass away
Why don't you keep lookin on the past
Watchin' what just wouldn't have last
You mind now, from me it's slipped fast
But you didn't want to stay, that's okay

Can't say I've seen you hangin' round me
My side, it now looks free
Guess I don't see the sun babe
Casting your shadow at my feet
I don't think you're sleepin' by my front door
Crying at the porch like you did before
You've just gone and made space for one more
And I don't want you to stay, it's okay

Well I'm glad all I have is your photo
to see you, when I please
I don't want to see your real face babe
Cus I don't want to see it leave
You never wanted to be here with me
You always had someone else to see
Well go now babe, we both can be free
So don't ever stay, it's okay
