There he goes,
as usual, my man
Breaking my foolish heart
I really don't know
what to do about him
I've told my self I've
got to do without him.
There he goes, as usual, my man,
tearing my heart apart.
He's made my life a mess.
I've got to do this, I guess.
Goodbye, from here I kiss you
Goodbye, Joe,
I hope I don't miss you
If you'd have been on the square
and treated me fair,
we'd have not had a tiff.
If you would not have said
I should go and jump right
off the nearest cliff.
If you'd have stayed off the make
and you never had taken
the coming home stiff.
If I had not smelled perfume
with a nasty unfamiliar whiff
I'm gonna miss you, baby
We could have been terrific
What's the diff?
If you had not had the cheek
to stay out for a week sitting back in a jiff
If you had not such a two -timing guy
If you weren't, if you hadn't
If you didn't,
if you had, if you weren't
If you didn't, but you haven't
You were, and you went, and you did
And so, goodbye
If I had not seen you
take Geraldine
on the length of your flat -bottomed skiff.
If you were not caught in a suit
with your arms around her bandit drift.
If I had not seen you pen sexy letters
to Gwen in your own hieroglyph.
If you had not left me home
when you had two seats for South Pacific.
I'm gonna miss you, baby.
You were too darn prolific.
What's the diff?
If you were not such a hound who,
when game was around,
always picked up the sniff.
If you were not such a two -timing guy.
If you hadn't, if you weren't, if you didn't, if you hadn't, if you weren't,
if you didn't, but you have, if you were, if you went, if you did, and so, goodbye.
If, when I asked where you'd been,
you had not slid my chin
with a beautiful miss.
If, I had not almost found
purple lipstick
on your handkerchief.
If, you had not told me lies
and then looked in my eyes
with a smile, be a chip.
If, when I caught you at Cape,
you had not said, it's of no significance,
I'm gonna miss you, baby.
And I could get specific.
What's the difference?
If, the best years of my life
weren't spent as your wife
with no marriage certificate.
If, you were not such
a two -timing guy.
If you weren't. If you hadn't.
If you didn't. If you weren't.
If you hadn't.
If you didn't. you had n't.
If weren't. If you weren't.
What you, you are, and you have it so,
and so, you so, and so
I'm gonna miss you, baby, and so
Baby, baby,
bye -bye
Bye -bye, baby, bye -bye
