Lyrics
There's no time
To explain why I'm going
Yes, that's the way it is
There's no time
To explain why I'm going
Yes, that's the way it is
You give me good reason, darling
So dry your eyes and cry no more
You don't need my loving
That's the way it is
Cry no more
You never realize
The things you've done to mine
You never realize
The things you've done to mine
So I'm leaving you now, darling
Yes, that's the way it is
Don't think I'm a wrong guy
Go and see your friends
Tell them you're free
Go see your friends
Tell them you're free
If you get the same treatment
That I gave you baby
Think yourself a laugh but I'm going
Yes, that's the way is with me
