It's killin' me to write the word goodbye I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries We both know the reason There ain't nothing to explain But I know that my leavin' Will spare us both the pain
(chorus) Desiree I can't hold you any longer Desiree you love his money more than me And the taxi's at the gate I guess all that's left to say Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page I love you desiree
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have And to write this note to you Was the hardest thing to do But not as hard as bein' a poor boy Who can't afford a girl like you
(repeat chorus)
God, I love you desiree But I just can't take it anymore I won't be around for your goodbye I won't be around for your goodbye You love his money more than me I won't be around for your goodbye You love his money more than me I won't be around for your goodbye Oh you love his money, you love it more than me I was just a fool who couldn't see That you love his money, you love it more than me
