when it hits me that she's gone i think i'll run for president
get my face put on the million dollar bill
so when these rich men that she wants
show her ways they can take care of her
i'll have found a way to be with her still
ooooooh ooooh oooooh oooooh
when it hits me that she's gone i think i'll be a astronaut
make the moon my home and leave this world behind
so when she steps out into the night
and finds the light that makes her pretty
she'll be facing me everytime she shines
oooooh oooooh ooooh oooooh
when it hits me that she's left me alone
when i finally move on with my life
her goodbye written into the stone
and her shadow grown into the night
when it hits me that she's gone i think i'll be a movie star
play the finest man the world has ever seen
so all the lovers that she's found
show her ways they learned to talk to her
behind each perfect word there'll be a little bit of me
