I didn't see no sense in me just
Sitting here and dragging out the pain
There's nothing you can say or do to ever make me want for you again
You say I've turned my back on you
I'm running out, but baby that's a lie
It just don't take me long to say goodbye
I told you when I met you not to put
Your chain of love on me too tight
Or you'd look up and find me slipping
Out into the freedom of the night
I didn't mean to hurt you, babe
I think you know I'm not that kind of guy
But it just don't take me long to say goodbye
It just don't take me long to change my shirt
And call a cab and catch a train
There ain't nothing we can talk about
And baby I've got nothing to explain
All I'm taking is my body so don't ever say I left you high and dry
It just don't take me long to say goodbye
