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…
