Babe, I think it’s time
That I should go away.
There’s really nothing more for me to say.
We both know that I really shouldn’t stay.
Babe, you know it’s time
That I be moving on.
Already I have been here much too long.
Your life will be much better once I’m gone.
I know you’ll never understand my reasons.
They seem to come and go just like the seasons,
But that’s the way I am.
Stay the way you are,
There is no need to change.
To me your life just seems so well arranged,
And yet, to you my life just seems so strange.
Babe, don’t ever think
Of how it might have been.
If I come back, I’ll break your heart again,
And I don’t want to make you cry again.
I guess we just weren’t meant to be together,
And yet, I’ll still remember you forever,
‘Cause that’s the way I am.
