She’s Sayin’ Goodbye

I’m talkin' too much, laughin' too loud
Runnin' around with the fastest crowd
Drinkin' a lot, there's nothing I won't try
I’m gettin' desperate, she’s sayin' goodbye

I wrote her a letter beggin' please
Sent up a prayer down on my knees
Told her the truth, I’d tell her a lie
I’m gettin’ desperate, she’s sayin' goodbye

And what do I do when my heart is burnin'?
I lie in bed tossin' and turnin'
And what do I do when I've got something to share
And I reach out for her but she’s not there?

She’s packin' her things, throwin’ away our plans
Looks like love is out of my hands
And all I can do is shake my fist at the sky
I’m gettin' desperate, she’s sayin' goodbye
