They've taken her away, where is she now
Verse 2
Wish that she was here, I wish she'd hold my hand
Maybe she would laugh, maybe understand
Why was I so cruel, where is she now

Verse 3
Acting like a fool, I had to make her cry
Maybe I'm a Leo, but I ain't a lion
I'm hurting oh so bad, I want her now
