She’s Leaving Me Because She Really Wants To

[Verse]
Thank you, my friend
I sincerely appreciate the words you say
About how she'll cry and how she'll grieve
And miss me when she goes away

Say them again
I need to hear the words once more
I can't believe how she'll miss me when she's gone
And how she'll want to come back home and never leave

[Chorus]
She's leaving me because she really wants to
And she'll be happy when she's gone
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy
She'll dance and sing or even learn to fly
And spend her time with anyone but me

[Verse]
What's that you say?
That I'll get over her the more that time goes by?
But time goes so slow
When all I have to do is sit around and cry

No, she won't be back
I'd be a fool to try to fool myself that way
I know she hasn't one regret
Because she hasn't had one since the day she came to stay

[Chorus]
She's leaving me because she really wants to
And she'll be happy when she's gone
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy
She'll dance and sing or even learn to fly
And spend her time with anyone but me

[Outro]
She'll be happy when she's gone
She'll be happy when she's gone
She'll be happy when she's gone
She'll be happy when she's gone
