I'm not surprised you didn't take the time to write me
I'm not surprised you didn't take the time to call
but baby, you know it really shook me
when, baby, I heard you're not coming back at all
I'm not surprised you didn't stop the thing about me
I'm not surprised you let me vanish from your mind
but baby, you know it overtook me
when my friend said you're gonna leave me here behind
why must it be, why must it be
why must it be, why must it be
I'm not surprised you started out without me
I'm not surprised you even stopped to care
but baby, if you must desert me
when you go don't talk about me when I'm not there
