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

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