Loretta Lyrics

Let it rain down on me

Your love will set me free

You better hurry now, 'cause talk ain't cheap

Oh Loretta where could you be

So I ran down to the corner store

Showed the man there a photo from the night before

He sighed and slowly closed his book

And then he stared at me with quite a puzzled look

I said, Hey man, have you seen this girl around

She left last night, left without a sound

He said if I'm not mistaken

I figure she'll be shakin' it downtown

So I fantasize

'Bout kissing her between her thighs

Until I find peace of mind

And rid the memory of her eyes

You know I can't go home

I can't go home

So I took the bus and wound up at the carnival arcade

But the only one downtown was the meter maid

I called to her and asked, Where did everybody go

She said, Don't worry about them son, they've all found their gold.

Everyone but you's got someone to hold,

But there might be another loner out the back with a smoke

And I fantasize

'Bout kissing her between her thighs

Until I find peace of mind

And rid the memory of her eyes

You know I can't go home

I can't go home

Loretta

Oh Loretta

Oh Loretta

Where did you go

Where did you go

So I raced around the back only to finally face the facts

She's gone on home

I know this much to be true, I'd be happier with you

Why did you have to go

Loretta why'd you have to go

I hoped to see your face once more

I gave you my heart to have and to hold

You laughed you though I made a joke

You let it all go up in smoke

You left me quite broke

At night I toss and turn while

Pictures of your sweet smile

Circle the empty space inside my head

Now I'm left here on the street

A cigarette butt at my feet

Loretta, why'd you have to leave

Loretta, where did you go

Loretta, where did you go
