Well I heard it from confidential sources
|
you've been thinking 'bout losing my name
|
and you've been dialin' some unlisted number
|
at some Memphis, TN exchange
|
Well your plannin' on headin' down the highway
|
and this time you're going for good
|
well honey don't think twice 'bout the pain you leave behind
|
just do me one favor if you would
|
Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
|
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
|
all your sympathy, will only make me cry
|
so get out, go on, get gone, and don't say goodbye
|
Now you were hoping you could break it to me gently
|
you were thinkin' we could part as friends
|
If I'd only try and remain civil
|
I'd see it your way in the end
|
Well pardon me if I beg to differ
|
'cause I'm the one who's gotta live with the pain
|
and when you're out on the town, I'll still be broke down
|
don't you bother with tryin' to explain
|
[chorus]
|
I don't need to have all the reasons numbered
|
You can save those condolences for some other guy
|
baby some other time
|
[chorus]
|

Don't Say Goodbye
