I didn't see no sense in me just sittin' here and draggin' out the pain

There's nothin' you can say or do to ever make me want for you again

You say I've turned my back on you I'm runnin' 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 ain't that kinda 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 it just don't take me long to say goodbye
