Going going going going going going going going
Going going going going going going going gone 
Still hooked on cellophane
Hanging round the mall and all
Each penny numbs the pain
Sends you gently for the fall
I followed you last night
I saw you turn your lights out
I knew it wasn't right
I watched in fear and doubt 

It's gotten to be that way
(going, going, gone)
What did you do today?
(going, going, gone) 

Look good in that red dress
I bet the boyfriend's happy
Your face is scarred with age
You're 23, but how can that be?
You're still hooked on cellophane
Killing time with gin and lime
Each second numbs the pain
Love's just another rhyme 

It's gotten to be that way
(going, going, gone)
I'm scared but I'm okay
(going, going, gone)
There's nowhere to move on
There's nowhere to move on 

All I see, yeah yeah, all I see
All I see, yeah yeah, all I see
All I see, yeah yeah, all I see
All I see, yeah yeah, is me everywhere
It's me
Da da dada da...
