Don’t Say Goodbye

Well I heard it from confidential sources
You've been thinking 'bout losing my name
And you've been dialin' some unlisted number
At some Memphis, TN exchange

Well you're plannin' on headin' down the highway
And this time you're going for good
Well honey don't think twice 'bout the pain you leave behind
Just do me one favor if you would

Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
All your sympathy, will only make me cry
So get out, go on, get gone, and don't say goodbye

Now you were hoping you could break it to me gently
You were thinkin' we could part as friends
If I'd only try and remain civil
I'd see it your way in the end

Well pardon me while I beg to differ
'Cause I'm the one who's gotta live with the pain
And when you're out on the town, I'll still be broke down
Don't you bother with tryin' to explain

Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
All your sympathy, will only make me cry
So get out, go on, get gone, and don't say goodbye

I don't need to have all the reasons numbered
You can save those condolences for some other guy
Baby some other time

Don't say goodbye, just slam the door
Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more
Baby, if you act sweet, it's gonna make me cry, cry, cry
So get out, go on, get gone, and don't say goodbye
