If you see me go, well, don't you look my way
You just turn your head, don't you watch me walk away
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm leavin' you to stay
'Cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today
Well, I wish for you the good times that I've never seen
And for you the peace of mind that I never knew
'Cause cryin' tired and lonely is a hard way to be
And it's cryin' tired and lonely and you I want to say
If you hear my voice, don't you look and see
Don't you turn and find that it really wasn't me
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay
'Cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today
They say that talkin' at your mind can help a troubled soul
But your mind has nothin' left to say
'Cause it's bad times and hard luck that's all I've come to know
And it's bad times and hard luck, every day, I'm telling you
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm leavin' you to stay
'Cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today
'Cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today
