“Good bye.” Should be say ing that to you by now, shouldn’t I?
Lay ing down a law that I live by.
Well, may be next time.
I’ve got a thick tongue
brim ming with the words that go un sung.
I sim mer then I burn for a some one,
the wrong one.
And I tell my self to let the sto ry end,
oh,
that my heart will rest in some one else ’s hand.
But my “why not me” phi los o phy be gan.
And I said… Ooh, how’m I gon na get o ver you?
I’ll be all right,
just not to night,
but some day.
Oh, I wish you’d want me to stay.
I’ll be all right,
just not to night,
but some day.
“May be.” It’s a vi cious lit tle word that can slay me,
keep me where I’m hurt ing.
You make me
(C)hang from your hands.
But no more; I won’t beg to buy a shot at your back door.
If I’m ach ing at the thought of you, what for?
That’s not (Bbsus2)me an y more.
And I’m not the girl that I in tend to be.
But I dare you, dar lin’; just you wait and see.
But this time not for you, but just for me.
I said… but some day.
Say it’s com ing soon,
some day with out you.
All I can do
is (Ab)get me past the ghost of you.
Wave good bye to me; I won’t say I’m sor ry.
I’ll be all right
(Ab)once I find the oth er side of some day.
Oh,
oh,
woh,
oh,
oh,
oh, woh,
ooh, woh.
(Woh,

Ah…
Ooh, how’m I gon na get o ver you?
I’ll be all right,
just not to night,
but some day.
Oh, I wish you’d want me to stay.
I’ll be all right,
just not to night,
but some
day.
