I epitomise restraint,

But time has tempered my discretion,

I'm bound to betray myself someday,

I'm hittin the road and sayin goodbye,

I'll never walk backwards,

Let the sun get in my eyes.



Oh, don't make me laugh,

You're not fooled by the way I come over,

Don't make me laugh,

And don't make me cry,

So long goodbye.



This parted history we share,

Poorly wrapped and hardly mentioned,

I notice a little glint in your eye,

It's hard to know,

Who's telling a lie.



You'd never say never,

Wouldn't see your vanity deprived.



Oh, don't make me laugh,

You're not fooled by the way I come over,

Don't make me laugh,

And don't make me cry,

So long goodbye.

Don't make me laugh,

There is no other way I could know her,

Don't make me laugh,

And don't make me cry,

So long goodbye.



Don't make me laugh,

You're not fooled by the way I come over,

Don't make me laugh,

And don't make me cry,

So long goodbye.

Don't make me laugh,

There is no other way I could know her,

Don't make me laugh,

And don't make me cry,

So long,

So long,

So long,

Goodbye
