Well, the sun come up this mornin'
and I jumped out of bed
I was a -feelin' fine till I remembered,
remembered what my baby said
Last night while we were talkin'
she wrote the news to me
Well, she said today she's leavin'
and now she's a fancy free
I could say that I don't worry,
I could say that I won't cry,
I could say that I won't miss her,
but it would be a doggone lie
Well, did you ever try to stop breathing
Well, it just can't be done
So I'll have to find me somebody
To take her place while she's gone
When she gets tired of roaming
She's gonna wanna come back
And I ain't gonna be foolish
I'm gonna take my baby back
I could say that I don't worry,
I could say that I won't cry
I could say that I won't miss her,
but it would be a doggone lie
I could say that I don't worry,
I could say that I won't cry
I could say that I won't miss her,
but it'd be a doggone lie
