[Verse 1]
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Oh honey, though our friendship ceases from now on
And listen, if you can't say anything real nice
'Tis better not to talk at all, it's my advice

[Bridge]
We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine, it's best that we do
Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you

[Verse 2]
Makes no difference how I carry on
Remember, please don't talk about me when I'm gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
And dig this, if you can't say anything real nice
It's much better not to talk at all, is my advice

[Bridge]
You go your way, I'll go mine, it's best that we do
Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
[Outro]
Makes no difference how I carry on
Remember, please don't talk about me
Not a word about me
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
