Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she knows it, all I ask before she goes home
She's tired of cryin' and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life

Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Does he know how over time you drove her away?
Saving up for the day when she goes
The day when she stands up
For everything that she chose

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say

Saving up for the day when she goes
The day when she stands up
For everything that she chose
Takin' the kids, drivin' away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away

And I've been with you for all of these years
Tell you what I've got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say

She's tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
And feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Does he know how over time he drove her away?

    I never really read the lyrics properly until now. But yes, it's about a woman who leaves her abusive husband/partner :( Quite a sad song.

    I wonder why they named it 'Odessa'? What is the connection with the Ukrainian port city?
