Won't you tell, tell her for me
That she can go, I set her free
For I don't want to say goodbye
And let her see me cry

Tell to her just any old thing
Say I went somewhere to sing
For I just can't look her in the eyes
And let her see me cry

I don't want to see or talk to anyone I know
Until she's gone, until she goes

So you see the reason why
I want you to tell a lie
And, just for me, say goodbye
And don't let her see me cry

I don't want to see or talk to anyone I know
Until she's gone, until she goes

So you see the reason why
I want you to tell a lie
And, just for me, say goodbye
And don't let her see me cry
