The Beatles (Paul McCartney) She's Leaving Home (3:35) Lyrics

Wednesday morning at five o'clock
as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free

She (we gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for
so many years (bye bye)

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me

She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for
so many years (bye bye)

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

She (what did we do that was wrong)
is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for
so many years (bye bye)
She's leaving home (bye bye)

Miércoles a las cinco de la madrugada, justo al amanecer
Ella cierra en silencio la puerta de su habitación
Dejando una nota con la esperanza de que lo explique todo
Baja a la cocina estrujando su pañuelo
Gira con cuidado la llave de la puerta trasera
Sale fuera, es libre
Ella (le dimos toda nuestra vida)
Se va (sacrificamos toda nuestra vida)
De casa (le dimos todo lo que se puede comprar con dinero)
Se va de casa después de tantos años viviendo sola
(Adiós)
El padre ronca mientras su esposa se pone la bata
Coge la carta que encuentra
Sola en lo alto de la escalera
Estalla en lágrimas y grita a su marido: "¡Papá, nuestra nena se ha ido! "
¿Cómo puede ser tan irreflexiva?
¿Cómo puede hacerme esto?
Ella (nunca pensamos en nosotros)
Se va (jamás el menor pensamiento en nosotros)
De casa (luchamos toda nuestra vida para salir adelante)
Se va de casa después de tantos años viviendo sola
(Adiós)
Viernes por la mañana a las nueve, ella está muy lejos
Esperando la cita que tiene
Con un vendedor de coches
Ella (¿en qué nos equivocamos?)
Se está (no sabíamos que estuviésemos equivocados)
Divirtiendo (diversión es lo único que no se puede comprar con dinero)
Algo en su interior que siempre le fue negado durante tantos años
(Adiós)
Se va de casa
(Adiós).
