Don't Say Goodbye

Well, I heard it from confidential sources

That you've been thinking 'bout losing my name

And you've been dialin' some unlisted number

At some Memphis, Tennessee exchangeWell, your plannin' on headin' down the highway

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 wouldDon'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 goodbyeNow you were hoping you could break it to me gently

You were thinkin' we could part as friends

And if I'd only try and remain civil

I'd see it your way in the endWell, pardon me while 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 explainDon'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 goodbyeI don't need to have all the reasons numbered

You can save those condolences for some other guy

Baby, some other timeDon't say goodbye, just slam the door

Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more

Baby, if you act so weak, it's gonna make me cry, cry, cry

So get out, go on, get gone and don't say goodbyeYeah, get out, go on, get gone and don't say goodbye
