Lyrics
- Ever since I told you
That I belong to you
I’ve seen a change
You’re acting strange
I can’t seem to hold you
The way I used to do
You broke your vow
Look at me now
Chorus
Sitting by the window
Waiting for you
Sitting by the window
That’s all I do
No one turns my door knob
Don’t ring my phone
They all know that’s your job
So I’m alone
I don’t even go up
The street to a show
For fear that you’ll show up
The minute I go
So I’m by my window
Lonesome and blue
Sitting by the window
Just waiting for you
- While you’re out enjoying
The things that I love, too
I never roam
Away from home
Dear, it’s so annoying
To always wait for you
Someday you’ll see
Then I won’t be
