Chorus:
If you see me go, well, don't you look my way. You just turn
your head. Don't you watch me walk away.
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay
'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today.
Well, I wish for you the good times that I've never seen and for
you the peace of mind that I never knew,
'Cause cryin' tired and lonely is a hard way to be and it's
cryin' tired and lonely and you I wanta say.

If you hear my voice, don't you look and see. Don't you turn and
find that it really wasn't me.
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay
'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today.

They say that talkin' at your mind can help a troubled soul but
your mind has nothin' left to say
'Cause it's bad times and hard luck that's all I've come to know
and it's bad times and hard luck, every day, I'm telling you.

(Chorus)

Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay
'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today.
'Cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today.
