Wasn't all that long ago
You could've changed my mind
But that was then, way back when I was your girl
Before I left that world behind

Now I'm too far gone
I can't hear a word you're sayin'
Too far gone
I don't know what game you're playin'
But I'm too far gone

There's no reason you should call
What's left to talk about?
Don't waste your breath, there's nothing left
I cried enough, Lord knows, to put that fire out

Now I'm too far gone
I can't hear a word you're sayin'
Too far gone
I don't know what game you're playin'
But I'm too far gone

Now I'm too far gone
I can't hear a word you're sayin'
Too far gone
I don't know what game you're playin'
But I'm too far gone

And I'm never coming back
No, I'm never coming back
I've gone this far
And I'm never coming back

Kim Carnes

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
