The boy will come and tell you that It's going nowhere fast He just decided he don't want you Written in his past Not that you aren't sweet and warm But that's too much to be He'd rathar he was standing on The side of being free So pick yourself Brush a tear from your eye Say so long honey I'll be saying goodbye Never thought it could last But sure hoped it would Gotta get myself out Of this neighborhood Now you know you're only grasping At a dim reality You thought it was something Folks call love What's that supposed to be? If you'd only known what you know now Would have never come to pass The wiser now,you'll just forget This melancholy jazz Open your eyes Take your hat off the rack Say so long,baby I'm never coming back Gonna go it alone In complete misery Start tasting the fruits of reality
