Cats On Fire If You Must Tell Him Lyrics

If you must tell him
Tell him gently
Say that he had a clever mind but add that he was too
smart for his own good
That's all there was

If you must tell him
Tell him gently
The other one was handsome but he knew it all too well
and that was it
That's all there was

You say you should be rational
You say you should be more true to yourself
And if that's all there is...

I know you could be rational
I know you could be more true to yourself
And if that's all there is...
There are ways to leave him
I think eight ways to leave your man

There are ways to leave him
But you will not leave your man

Something in his pocket stops you ohhohho

He would most likely rather know you
As the one who threw up everytime a boy passed by until
she met the one
I know it's hard

And don't mention the one you loved by
All of your heart and never got over
So when he lies upon you
Just close your eyes and be quiet
I know it's hard
You've tried so hard
