Just because you left and said goodbye
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so
Darling, I would rather let you go

Just because you want someone who's kind,
With a heart as good and pure as mine
But before I let this thing happen to me
Darling, I would rather swim the sea

I know you think you're smart
Just going around breaking lovers' hearts

Just because you left and said goodbye
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so
Darling, I would rather let you go

I know you think you're smart
Just going around breaking lovers' hearts

Just because you left and said goodbye
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so
Darling, I would rather let you go
