She's Leaving Home
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 downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief.
Quietly turning the backdoor key,
stepping outside, she is free.
She (We gave her most of our lives.)
is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives.)
home (We gave her ev'rything money could buy.)
She's leaving home after living alone (Byebye.)for so many years.
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?
She (We never thought of ourselves.)
is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves.)
home (We've struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone (Byebye.)for so many years.
Friday morning at nine o'clock, she is far away.
Waiting to keep the appointment she made,
meeting a man from the motor trade.
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 (Byebye.)for so many years.
She's leaving home. (Byebye.)

“If you haven't already, check out the mono mix of the Sgt. Pepper album. This song is sped up slightly so that the pitch is a semi-tone higher, they did it to make Paul sound a little younger and tighten it all up a bit apparantly.. It was left at it's original speed and pitch for the general stereo release. Similar thing with the mono & stereo versions of Don't Pass Me By off the White Album, the mono also having a different violin line playing during the fade out..”
