GOODBYE

I loved you once

I loved you twice

Maybe three times

Would be nice

Although my love

Is flowing strong

Somehow I feel

It would be wrong

You say you love me

Then you don't

I could still love you

But I won't

I'm oh so tired

Of all the lies

I've had too many

Good ole cries

I wish for once

It would be gone

That same old memory

That still lives on

Please for once

Leave me alone

Don't look. Don't talk

Don't telephone

I need some time

To be by myself

Though without you

There's not much left

Just say you love me

One last time

And then that's it

I draw the line

Good-bye, my love

Once and for all

I will survive

I will not fall.
