Won't you tell telephone me that she can go I set her free
For I don't want to say goodbye and let her see me cry
Tell to her just any old thing say I went somewhere the same
For I just can't look her in the eyes and let her see me cry.

I don't want to see or talk to anyone I know
Until she's gone, until she goes
So you see the reason why I want you to tell a lie
And just for me say goodbye and don't let her see me cry.

I don't want to see or talk to anyone I know
Until she's gone, until she goes
So you see the reason why I want you to tell a lie
And just for me say goodbye and don't let her see me cry...
