[Intro]
(Spoken)
F#F#7BG#m7
Ah, remember this
C#C#7F#
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
F#F#7BG#m7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
C#C#7F#
I could have been twelve actually
[Chorus]F#F#7G#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
C#C#7F#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
F#F#7G#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
C#C#7F#
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse]F#F#7G#m7
Just because I want someone who's kind
C#C#7F#
With a heart as good and pure as mine
F#F#7G#m7
But maybe I am asking far too much
C#C#7F#
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Bridge]BC#
I know you think you're smart, just running around
C#C#7
and breaking lovers' hearts
[Chorus]F#F#7G#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
C#C#7F#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
F#F#7G#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
C#C#7F#
Darling, I would rather let you go

This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
C#C#7F#
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
[Chorus]F#F#7G#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
C#C#7F#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
F#F#7G#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
C#C#7F#
Darling, I would rather let you go
