Well I saw you on the avenue And as usual you're with someone new I guess there's nothing left for me to do but turn away I'm growing tired of all your alibis There ain't one you can justify I ain't gonna take it anymore and I'll tell you why You think it doesn't show I figure let me go If you're gonna let me down let me down easy It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take If you're gonna let me down let me down easy We've been going through some changes And I'm well aware of all the dangers Sometimes you look at me and it leaves me cold But now you've gone and blown your covers I know all about your temporary lovers I ain't taking it another day and that's for sure You think it doesn't show I figure let me go If you're gonna let me down let me down easy It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take If you're gonna let me down let me down easy Oh when I look at you now I can't believe you're leaving All those years and you've got nothing to say Turn around and walk away You think it doesn't show I figure let me go If you're gonna let me down let me down easy It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take If you're gonna let me down let me down easy You think it doesn't show I figure let me go If you're gonna let me down let me down easy It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
