[Verse 1]
Sunny days, good weather
You and me, forever and ever
Those were your favorite lines
But I found out you were cheating and lying
[Pre-Chorus]
There'll be no looking back
'Cause this time I'm on the right track
I done made up my mind
Leaving you behind
[Chorus]
Smooth sailing, from now on...right on!
Now let me tell you somethin'
[Verse 2]
Girl, your love is just like the weather — changing all the time
My leaving you might not mean a thing, it's true
At least I'll have peace of mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me tell you there'll be no looking back
'Cause this time I'm on the right track
'Cause I done made up my mind
I'm leaving you behind
[Chorus]
Smooth sailing, from now on...right on!
[Bridge]
I'm gone
So long
(Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
(Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
[Verse 3]
Sooner or later — maybe never — I'll probably want you back
One thing you can be sure of, between me and you there ain't no love
And that's a natural fact (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
There'll be no looking back
'Cause this time I'm on the right track
'Cause I done made up my mind
I'm leaving you behind
[Chorus]
Smooth sailing, from now on...right on!
(I'm talking about smooth) Smooth sailing, from now on...right on!
(I'm gone)
Smooth sailing, from now on...right on!
(I'm talking about smooth) Smooth sailing, from now on...right on!
