[Intro]
(Spoken)
A#A#7D#Cm7
Ah, remember this
FF7A#
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
A#A#7D#Cm7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
FF7A#
I could have been twelve actually
[Chorus]A#A#7Cm7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
FF7A#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
A#A#7Cm7
Even if my heart should tell me so
FF7A#
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse]A#A#7Cm7
Just because I want someone who's kind
FF7A#
With a heart as good and pure as mine
A#A#7Cm7
But maybe I am asking far too much
FF7A#
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Bridge]D#F
I know you think you're smart, just running around
FF7
and breaking lovers' hearts
[Chorus]A#A#7Cm7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
FF7A#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
A#A#7Cm7
Even if my heart should tell me so
FF7A#
Darling, I would rather let you go

This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
FF7A#
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
[Chorus]A#A#7Cm7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
FF7A#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
A#A#7Cm7
Even if my heart should tell me so
FF7A#
Darling, I would rather let you go
