Little Good-Byes

Ooh, ooh
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
I didn't shed a tear
I gave you one last minute of my time
In this mess I left behind

You come home tonight (yeah)
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
Yeah, my little good-byes
Little good, 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

You come home tonight (yeah)
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find

(My little good-byes) took your favourite 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
Yeah, my little good-byes
Oh baby, little good, little good-byes

So, cry to your mama and your sympathetic friends, and tell'em
Tell 'em 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

Yeah, my little good-byes
Change my voice on the machine
Or there'll be little good-byes with every ring
Oh baby, little good, little good-byes
Left the pictures and took the frame
I've got the umbrella, here comes the rain

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Little good-byes
Rain, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little good-byes
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little good-byes
