She's Leaving Me Because She Really Wants To

Thank you, my friend

I sincerely appreciate the words you say

About how she'll cry

And how she'll grieve and miss me when she goes away

Say them again

I need to hear the words once more

I can't believe how she'll miss me when she's gone

And how she'll want to come back home and never leave

She's leaving me because she really wants to

And she'll be happy when she's gone

She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy

She'll dance and sing or even learn to fly

And spend her time with anyone but me

What's that you say?

That I'll get over her the more that time goes by?

But time goes so slow

When all I have to do is sit around and cry

No, she won't be back

I'd be a fool to try to fool myself that way

I know she hasn't one regret

Because she hasn't had one since the day she came to stay

She's leaving me because she really wants to

And she'll be happy when she's gone

She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy

She'll dance and sing or even learn to fly

And spend her time with anyone but me

She'll be happy when she's gone

She'll be happy when she's gone

She'll be happy when she's gone

She'll be happy when she's gone
