  They've taken her away, where is she now

  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

  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
