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...
