As you leave
please tiptoe down
the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life
And everythin' is all you ever
meant and said to me
Everythin' you meant to me
Could you live with
all the hurt and the pain
And the tears again
Yesterday could be
a song for the year
Refrain
They confess on me
I'll give them all I have
and more
Oh I've been poured out
And as you leave
please tiptoe down
the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life
When you leave you're
takin' all my dreams
outside my door
This poor heart is cryin' more
And more and more
In the darkness now
all I can see is
where we've been
Oh where we've been
As you leave
please tiptoe down
the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life
Down the backstairs of my life
Backdoor of my life
