[Spoken:]
- You're not forgetting about tonight, are you? I left your name on the door and everything
- There are not gonna be too many punks?
- John would you stop worrying about the punks? They're just a bunch of kids with growing pangs, and they'll probably be doctors and lawyers someday

[Verse 1]
I fear to see the day
My friends all mate and move away
Will I grow up inside?
Won't ever happen to me
The city sights
The business types
I can see them, where are you?

[Chorus]
Bye for now
I didn't mean to let you down
I didn't mean to drive you away
Bye for now
Now that you're not around
So many things I'd like to say

[Verse 2]
I see you and I think
Have I found the missing link
The piece that holds us together
If I had my way
I'd hear you say that it's okay
Friendship should last forever
[Chorus]
Bye for now
I didn't mean to let you down
I didn't mean to drive you away
Bye for now
Now that you're not around
So many things I'd like to say

I didn't mean to let you down [x5]
Never meant to let you down
I didn't mean to let you down
