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 offa your chest
You said you wanted Paris Rome 'n' 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 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 Guess I'll always love you all my life
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
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
