He says to her, Why do you do it?
She says to him, Why do you stay?
Then they say unspoken words to explain it
He says, Baby, I hate to see you this way
I hate to see you
I hate to see you cry
Well, you can get her
But you cant keep her
And you cant catch her fall
She will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives
The Imperial
She sits across the table the same glass table
Cries to her friend, Why am I so alone?
He says, Whoa, whoa, baby, oh, my baby
This is the path you have chosen
She probably goes under another name
Well, thats a good idea
So, you can get her
But you cant keep her
And you cant catch her fall
Well, she will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives
The Imperial Hotel
Whos there? Whos there?
Where has she gone? Where has she gone?
But, I think she just went home
Sits across the table same glass table
And she cries to her friend, Why am I alone?
He says, Whoa, whoa, baby, oh, my baby
You have to know you have to know
Yet she knows in her heart
That well, he will stand by her
Anywhere dont cry, baby know where she lives
I can save you
Dont cry baby, I can save you
Dont cry baby, I can save you
