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 think you're so smart
Goin' around and breaking lover's hearts
Before I let this thing happen to me
Darling I would rather swim to sea

I know you think you're smart
Just goin' around and breaking lover's hearts

Just because I want someone who's kind
With a heart as good and true as mine
Well maybe I am asking for too much
Darling please don't ever break my heart

I know you think you're smart
Just goin' around and breaking lover's 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
