| It’s killin' me to write the word «goodbye»
|
| I’ve wadded up and tossed a thousand tries
|
| We both know the reason
|
| There ain’t nothing to explain
|
| But I know that my leavin'
|
| Will spare us both the pain
|
| Desiree I can’t hold you any longer
|
| Desiree you love his money more than me
|
| And the taxi’s at the gate
|
| I guess all that’s left to say
|
| Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
|
| «I love you Desiree»
|
| It’d be easier to leave if I were mad
|
| But it’s hard to lose the best you’ll ever have
|
| And to write this note to you
|
| Was the hardest thing to do
|
| But not as hard as bein' a poor boy
|
| Who can’t afford a girl like you
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| God, I love you Desiree
|
| But I just can’t take it anymore
|
| I won’t be around for your goodbye
|
| I won’t be around for your goodbye
|
| You love his money more than me
|
| I won’t be around for your goodbye
|
| You love his money more than me
|
| I won’t be around for your goodbye
|
| Oh you love his money, you love it more than me
|
| I was just a fool who couldn’t see
|
| That you love his money, you love it more than me |
