I just got a call from my good girl today

Said she must be goin on her way

There’s better things on down the line

And I’ll not try to change her mind

She seems to think we’re better off this way

Chorus:

But my heart it breaks in two

It can’t believe that it’s true

Though I want you to stay you’re leavin anyway

But you gotta do what you gotta do

There’s times that I know I’ve not been there for you

Maybe that’s the reason for your leavin

I’ll try to keep you off my mind cause a girl like you is hard to find

Somehow I’ll just have to stop my dreamin

Chorus:

But my heart…

I guess it would be better if I’d never known your name

Then I wouldn’t know just what I’m missin

But I’ve seen that look in your eyes and now it comes as no surprise

That another’s lips soon you will be kissin

Chorus:

But my heart…

And my heart is set on you

It can’t believe that it’s true

Though I want you to stay you’re leavin anyway

But you gotta do what you gotta do

You’re gonna do what you gotta do
