Every goodbye ain't gone, every shut-eye sure ain't sleep
Every goodbye ain't gone, every shut-eye sure ain't sleep
If you're mad at someone else, baby, don't take it out on me
I'm your boyfriend, baby, and not your mother dear
I'm your boyfriend, baby, and not your mother dear
I'm talkin' about the woman, baby, that really brought you here
So listen, little woman, baby, here is my right hand
So listen, little woman, baby, here is my right hand
I can go ahead on now, baby, make out a life the best I can
So listen, little woman, goodbye and it's fare you well
So listen, little woman, goodbye and it's fare you well
The time I wasn't on you, baby, I declare you sure was swell
