[Intro]
(Spoken)
D#D#7G#Fm7
Ah, remember this
A#A#7D#
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
D#D#7G#Fm7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
A#A#7D#
I could have been twelve actually
[Chorus]D#D#7Fm7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
A#A#7D#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
D#D#7Fm7
Even if my heart should tell me so
A#A#7D#
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse]D#D#7Fm7
Just because I want someone who's kind
A#A#7D#
With a heart as good and pure as mine
D#D#7Fm7
But maybe I am asking far too much
A#A#7D#
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Bridge]G#A#
I know you think you're smart, just running around
A#A#7
and breaking lovers' hearts
[Chorus]D#D#7Fm7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
A#A#7D#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
D#D#7Fm7
Even if my heart should tell me so
A#A#7D#
Darling, I would rather let you go

This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
A#A#7D#
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
[Chorus]D#D#7Fm7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
A#A#7D#
Do you think that I will sit and cry
D#D#7Fm7
Even if my heart should tell me so
A#A#7D#
Darling, I would rather let you go
