[Intro]
Hey baby
I gotta leave ya

[Verse 1]
By the time you read this letter, I'll be outta your life
Gone forever more but guess I'll survive
I'm gonna leave my records and a forwarding address
Ain't you glad, honey, that I'm off of your chest?
You said you wanted Paris, Rome and St. Tropez
Perfume by Chanel and a ring by Cartier
But I gave you headaches with my old fashioned ways
But that's all irrelevant to what I'm tryin' to say

[Chorus]
I'm a fool for you, baby
Pride won't let me stay
I'm a fool for you, honey
And I'll come back any day
I guess I'll always love you all my life
Hey baby

[Verse 2]
You can keep your Streisands, Bardots and Lorens
You're my everything but now you're my end
It may be over but just before I go
I can make a new start but I can't mend a broken heart
So when I read about you in all the national press
On the arm of so and so, I may get depressed
'Cause I tried to love you but didn't fit in
I came on the dust, I'll leave on the wind

[Chorus]
I'm a fool for you, baby
My pride won't let me stay
I'm a fool for you, honey
I'll come back any day
I'm a fool for you, baby
I don't care what your friends say
I'm a fool for you, honey
And that's the way I'll stay
I guess I'll always love you all my life

[Outro]
So long, baby
