"Little Good-Byes"
-- SHeDAISY --
I'm gonna tell you something you don't wanna hear.
You never listen when I talk,
Maybe you'll listen when I walk.
So I made my mind up and made a sandwich
And I didn't shed a tear;
I gave you one last minute of my time
In this mess I left behind.
When you come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My little good-byes.
(Empty hangers by the closet door,
Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor.)
My little good-byes.
(Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone
I took the Beatles, left Billy Joel.)
Little good-byes, little good-byes.
I'm sure, you're sure I'll be back in just an hour or two.
You'll tape a Hallmark to my door:
They always said it better than you.
And if you're wondering
When you're gonna hear from me,
Well, take a real good look around, boy
And it won't be hard to see.
When you come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My little good-byes.
(Took your favorite Dodger's hat,
Left the litter, but I took the cat.)
My little good-byes.
(Loaded up the TV in the back of my car,
Have fun watching the VCR.)
Little good-byes, oh baby, little good-byes.
So, cry to your mama
And your sympathetic friends and tell 'em,
Tell them how the story ends.
My little good-byes.
(Took the hourglass, left the sand:
Now you got time on your hands.)
My little good-byes.
(Took the statue from Japan:
Funny little Buddha man.)
My little good-byes.
(Change my voice on the machine
Or there'll be little goodbyes with every ring.)
My little good-byes.
(Left the pictures, took the frame.
I've got the umbrella, here comes the rain.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Little good-byes.
