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
