[Intro]
(Spoken)
BB7EC#m7
Ah, remember this
F#F#7B
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
BB7EC#m7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
F#F#7B
I could have been twelve actually
[Chorus]BB7C#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
F#F#7B
Do you think that I will sit and cry
BB7C#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
F#F#7B
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse]BB7C#m7
Just because I want someone who's kind
F#F#7B
With a heart as good and pure as mine
BB7C#m7
But maybe I am asking far too much
F#F#7B
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Bridge]EF#
I know you think you're smart, just running around
F#F#7
and breaking lovers' hearts
[Chorus]BB7C#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
F#F#7B
Do you think that I will sit and cry
BB7C#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
F#F#7B
Darling, I would rather let you go

This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
F#F#7B
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
[Chorus]BB7C#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
F#F#7B
Do you think that I will sit and cry
BB7C#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
F#F#7B
Darling, I would rather let you go
