Slow Boat To China lyrics

When you left me I was sad and I was lonely Couldn't face the night Without your arms to hold me On my own I found the way to be a woman Who could live for more Than the love and the touch of a man You told me Take the slow boat to China Well, I did And baby, nothing could be finer I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you You told me Take the slow boat to China Well, I did And baby, nothing could be finer I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you When you left me They said I would never make it Now I'm better But everybody thinks I'm faking On my own I'm laughing and looking like I mean it Since you let me go I've been doing the best that I can You told me Take the slow boat to China Well, I did And baby, nothing could be finer I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you You told me Take the slow boat to China Well, I did And baby, nothing could be finer I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you And to think that you once owned me I lived for you and for you only If someone like you comes my way I'll start running as fast as I can And tell him Take the slow boat to China Well, I did And baby, nothing could be finer I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you
