If you should wonder back this way when you are lonely too
Don't look for me for I will be long gone
I told you once before you left that I was through with you
You can't expect a man to linger on

You are old enough to know that a man's love will not go
When you take up with some one who you think's a little more fun
If you don't find a welcome mat a-lying in your way
Just keep on going is all that I can say

I got your letter yesterday you wanted to come home
But I've been happy since you've been away
I told you once before you left that I was through with you
So keep on going is all that I can say
