I CAN'T BE LEFT ALONE (TWENTY-TEEN)

Twenty-teen
Legally, I can't be left alone
Young with child, desperately
I can't be left alone

Twenty-teen
Legally, I can't be left alone
Far from home, on my own
I can't be left alone

Dialed your number for the ninth time
Baby why aren't you answering
Eight hours plus the distance, earth to sky

Did everything a newly wed could do
Looked through our photographs, called mom
Six hours until you arrive home feeling blue

I can't be left alone
I can't be left alone
Baby I can't be left alone
By myself not for long
I can't be left alone

Twenty-teen
Legally, I can't be left along
Young with child, desperately
I can't be left alone

Twenty-teen
Legally, I can't be left alone
Far from home, on my own
I can't be left alone

Alone
Alone
That's why I married
I can't be left alone
Alone
Alone
