[Intro]
(Spoken)
E E7 A F#m7
Ah, remember this
B B7 E
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
E E7 A F#m7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
B B7 E
I could have been twelve actually
[Chorus]
E E7 F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B B7 E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E E7 F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B B7 E
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse]
E E7 F#m7
Just because I want someone who's kind
B B7 E
With a heart as good and pure as mine
E E7 F#m7
But maybe I am asking far too much
B B7 E
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Bridge]
A B
I know you think you're smart, just running around
B B7
and breaking lovers' hearts
[Chorus]
E E7 F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B B7 E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E E7 F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B B7 E
Darling, I would rather let you go

This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
B B7 E
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
[Chorus]
E E7 F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B B7 E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E E7 F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B B7 E
Darling, I would rather let you go
