Lately you've been actin' kinda stange, it's true
'Cause everybody knows there's been a change in you
You come home for a while and then you're gone again
And I thought I better let you know just where I stand.

I'm tired of bein' the loser in this game you play
You're gonna wish you'd been truer when I'm gone someday
You'll try to get me to come back but I won't make a deal
And I thought I'd better let you know just how I feel.

I feel like cryin', at night when I'm alone
I feel like dyin', each time you don't come home.

But that's all over now I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new
And just in case you wonderin' what it's all about
I guess I'd better let you know I'm checkin' out.

Yes, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checkin' out...
