lyrics: [Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
  Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
  Silently closing her bedroom door
  Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
  She goes down the stairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
  Quietly turning the backdoor key
  Stepping outside, she is free
  
  [Chorus: Paul McCartney & (John Lennon)]
  She (We gave her most of our lives)
  Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
  Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
  She's leaving home after living alone (Bye-bye)
  For so many years
  
  [Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
  Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
  Picks up the letter that's lying there
  Standing alone at the top of the stairs
  She breaks down and cries to her husband, Daddy, our baby's gone
  Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
  How could she do this to me
  
  [Chorus: Paul McCartney & (John Lennon)]
  She (We never thought of ourselves)
  Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
  Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
  She's leaving home after living alone (Bye-bye)
  For so many years
  
  [Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
  Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
  Waiting to keep the appointment she made
  Meeting a man from the motor trade
  
  [Chorus: Paul McCartney & (John Lennon)]
  She (What did we do that was wrong)
  Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
  Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
  Something inside that was always denied (Bye-bye)
  For so many years
  
  [Outro]
  She's leaving home (Bye-bye)
