Yeah baby, I'm leavin'
By the time you read this letter 
I'll be outta your life 
Gone forever more 
But guess I'll survive 
I'm gonna leave my records 
And a forwarding address 
Ain't you glad honey 
That I'm offa your chest 
You said you wanted Paris 
Rome 'n' St. Tropez 
Perfume by Chanel 
And a ring by Cartier 
But I gave you headaches 
With my old fashioned ways 
But that's all irrelevant 
To what I'm tryin' to say 
I'm a fool for you baby 
Pride won't let me stay 
I'm a fool for you honey 
and I'll come back any day 
Guess I'll always love you all my life 
You can keep your Streisands 
Bardots and Lorens 
You're my everything 
But now you're my end 
It may be over 
But just before I go 
I can make a new start 
But I can't mend a broken heart 
So when I read about you 
In all the national press 
On the arm of so and so 
I may get depressed 
Cause I tried to love you 
But didn't fit in 
I came on the dust 
I'll leave on the wind 
I'm a fool for you baby 
My pride won't let me stay 
I'm a fool for you honey 
I'll come back any day 
I'm a fool for you baby 
I don't care what your friends say 
I'm a fool for you honey 
And that's the way I'll stay 
I guess I'll always love you all my life
So long, baby.
