"Boobar, come back to me
I know you feel the pain that I feel"

I've heard that a thousand times
It sings behind every door
And I go rushing into the room
To find nothing at all
I ran down into the street
I bathed in the city's noise
It seems no matter where I go
I still hear that voice

She sang: "Boobar"
And all the ships came in
Before the storm began
She sang: "Boobar, come back to me
I know you feel the pain that I feel"

I jumped on the nearest train
I travelled down to the shore
I screamed into the waves
But I still hear that voice
I picked up an old guitar
I tried to learn that song
It's been so many years now
Of 'Where did it all go wrong?'
Where did it all go wrong?
I sang it in every town (He sang it in every town)
You know, I tried my best (He tried his best)
Some nights I almost made it shine (He made it shine)
I've made a fool of it (He made a fool out of it)
Was there a time? (He sang it in every town)
We really sold ourselves out (He tried his best)
We wanted so much more (We wanted so much more)
We wanted something else (We wanted something else)
I sang it in limousines (Was there a time?)
On the back of mules (We really sold ourselves out)
It turned me into a king (We wanted so much more)
It turned me into a fool (We wanted something else)

"Boobar, come back to me
I know you feel the pain that I feel"
"Boobar, come back to me
I know you feel the pain that I feel"
