If you see me go, well, don't you look my way. You just turn your head. Don't you watch me walk away
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay 'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today
Well, I wish for you the good times that I've never seen and for you the peace of mind that I never knew
'Cause cryin' tired and lonely is a hard way to be and it's cryin' tired and lonely and you I wanta say

If you hear my voice, don't you look and see. Don't you turn and find that it really wasn't me
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay 'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today

They say that talkin' at your mind can help a troubled soul but your mind has nothin' left to say
'Cause it's bad times and hard luck that's all I've come to know and it's bad times and hard luck, every day, I'm telling you

If you see me go, well, don't you look my way. You just turn your head. Don't you watch me walk away
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay 'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today
Well, I wish for you the good times that I've never seen and for you the peace of mind that I never knew
'Cause cryin' tired and lonely is a hard way to be and it's cryin' tired and lonely and you I wanta say

Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay 'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today
