Al Stewart - You should have listened to Al

She said "Don't you think we're going downhill?


And I would hate it to be run-of-the mill


"Oh love me or leave me but please don't deceive me


For if you do, I'll know, believe me


I want you to know I don't want you to go anyway


And yes I was doing alright up until now


I'm beginning to think you should have listened to Al





She picked up her things and said "let's be friends


For all the good and the bad things have their ends"


Then she went lazily leaving me crazily


Wandering lost, the night was hazy


And everyone else looking sure of themselves but not me


And yes I was doing alright up until now


I'm beginning to think you should have listened to Al





Oh she left me the keys and a dozen LPs


A phone bill warning left for the morning


And I left the dark on a seat in the park feeling very strange


And yes I was doing alright up until now


I'm beginning to think you should have listened to Al





You should have listened to Al


Oh, you should have listened to Al
