So Long Baby

The boy will come and tell you that
It's going nowhere fast
He just decided he don't want you
Written in his past
Not that you aren't sweet and warm
But that's too much to be
He'd rathar he was standing on 
The side of being free
So pick yourself
Brush a tear from your eye
Say so long honey
I'll be saying goodbye
Never thought it could last
But sure hoped it would
Gotta get myself out
Of this neighborhood
Now you know you're only grasping
At a dim reality
You thought it was something
Folks call love
What's that supposed to be?
If you'd only known what you know now
Would have never come to pass
The wiser now,you'll just forget
This melancholy jazz
Open your eyes
Take your hat off the rack
Say so long,baby
I'm never coming back
Gonna go it alone
In complete misery
Start tasting the fruits of reality
