She wrote I feel just like that painting Collectin' dust on the wall And every day you walk right by me And don't know I'm there at all And I can't think of one single reason Why I should be hangin around She signed it, "I hope that you'll miss me" then she drove herself outta town
[Chorus] Maybe he'll notice her now Maybe he'll open his eyes Sometimes it takes somebody leavin For a man to realize Maybe he'll tell her she's the only thing That he can't live without Now that she's gone Maybe he'll notice her now
When he came home late that evenin He called her name down the hall He saw the outline of the painting That used to hang there on the wall And in its place on the nail was the letter He read it out loud to himself Then the loneliness began to take over And for once he knew just how she felt
[Repeat chorus]
He called her up, he said I have been such a fool She said I will come back and boy I still love you
