She wrote, "I feel just like that paintin'   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"   And she drove herself out of town      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 paintin'   That used to hang there on the wall   And in its place on the nail was a letter   He read it out loud to himself   Then the loneliness began to take over   And for once he knew just how she felt      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      He called her up   He said, "I have been such a fool"   She said   "I will come back and boy I still love you"      Maybe he'll notice her now   (Notice her now)   Maybe he'll open his eyes   (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   I'm comin' home   Maybe you'll notice me now
