[Verse 1]
I tried my best to get things over
Did everything that i could do
I didn't really want to hurt you
But you must have realized we were through

[Chorus]
Now don't it make you feel crying
Watching a good love slowly die?
You and me could spend a lifetime trying
But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Just like two fools we couldn't make it
The movie just went on too long
I've been 'round and you've been through it
But now i know we're getting strong

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
It's time we burned our old love letters
And started out on a brand new life
No one else can come between us
'Cause i'm not your man, you're not my wife

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Still it makes me feel like crying
But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye
Bye-bye, bye-bye [4x]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
