Stella -

If the sun forgets to shine, can you just deal with candlelight for two?

Oh, I hope that will do

So if your mockingbird don’t sing, can you just love it for its wings?

Please do

Oh, Stella, what could I do?

So when you asked me on the phone, «Can I just help myself?»

(I can’t help myself.)

Stella, I lost my way

So if you need to lay your head, then I can make room right beside my bed

Do you mind the floor instead?

So as your mocking bird takes flight, the sun forgets to shine its light on you

Oh, Stella, what could I do?

And if you need me, you know I’ll run, run, run

(Stella, you’re on your own

Stella, you’re on your own.)

When you know I’m leavin', baby, you’ll know I’m gone, gone, go-gone, gone, gone

(Stella, you’re on your own

Stella, you’re on your own.)

And in the evening, you’re gonna think I’m home but know you’re alone

So when you ask me on the phone, «Can I just help myself?»

(I can’t help myself.)

Stella, I lost my way

(Stella, you’re on your own

Stella, you’re on your own.)
