Here I am late again for the last time
And like I promised, I just told her goodbye
Please, believe me for this time it's really over
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie

Didn't I come and tell you about her
How temptation lured she and I
But now I know it was only fascination
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie

Chorus:
I had to let her down easy
As slow as I could
After all, she's got feelings too
But it took a little longer
Than I thought it would
But this time, she knows we're really through

She wanted to hold me forever
And this lipstick shows her final try
And these tears on my shoulder
Are proof that she failed
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie
