Katy's Leaving Babylon lyrics

I should have known that it would turn out bad, You ain't a girl to do things by half. I should have known that this crazy love, Would come swooping down and swallow us up, I guess I could have been like every other man, And not give a damn that women hurt so bad, Now I'm sitting here trying to make some peace within my mind, With the late movie flickering back and forth across my eyes. CHORUS: Oh - the nights are so long, And Katy's leaving Babylon, I should have known the girl was not that strong, And Katy's leaving Babylon. I didn't count on such a long, long trip, I took your love and never paid for it, It's too late now to think about a woman's pride, 'Cause Katy's past thinking about suicide, All of a sudden you know, that axe comes down, Before you even think about a turnaround. Women need loving more than we can understand, But hey! don't get down about it, Just do the best that you can - Oh - the nights are so long, And Katy's leaving Babylon, I should have known the girl was not that strong, Now Katy's leaving Babylon.
