Peeling Onions

What I tell my friends if they should ask if I’m okay Is I’ve been peeling onions ever since you went away I don’t know what I’m meant to say so I can make them see That I’ll be peeling onions until you come back to me Another day another sigh but I shall never cry The tear upon my cheek is down to something in my eye When you walked away with not so much as a goodbye Could you not have offered me the slightest reason why But since the day I heard you’d left me for another guy I seem to find that peeling onions helps the time go by Another day another sigh but I shall never cry The tear upon my cheek is down to something in my eye There comes a time when even friends no longer want to know And point out, “You’ve been peeling onions for a month or so.” So am I done with peeling onions? I’m not sure I know Is it time I figured out that I must let you go Another day another sigh but I shall never cry The tear upon my cheek is down to something in my eye Your best friend set me up so I would be sat here with you She did let slip the news that you’d been peeling onions too I was tempted when you said could we get back together But I’ve peeled lots of onions; I won’t peel another - ever
