Jimmy Nail - What's The Use? lyrics

I broke my world in pieces yesterday

I woke to find my angel gone away/astray

I was loud and I was strong

I was proud but I was wrong

didn't realise the price I'd have to pay

long ago when sharing things was new

I did the things I thought a man should do

so I tried to break her will

but it was me who paid the bill

'cause instead of breaking one heart

I broke two

what's the use in askin' where she's been to

what's the use in askin' what she's done

I'm the one who told her she was leavin'

so what's the use in askin' where she's gone

loneliness is tearin' me apart

I swear to God I'll make a brand new start

so I'm on the telephone

sayin' angel, please come home

before you break your poor old daddy's heart

what's the use in askin' where she's been to

what's the use in askin' what she's done

I'm the one who told her she was leavin'

so what's the use in askin' where she's gone

instrumental solo

anything you need I'll be there/I'm tryin'

heaven knows I'm cryin;'

angel

what's the use in askin' where she's been to

what's the use in askin' what she's done

I'm the one who told her she was leavin'

so what's the use in askin' where she's gone
