Little Goodbyes

I'm gonna tell you something you don't wanna hear

You never listen when I talk

Maybe you'll listen when I walk

So I made my mind up and made a sandwich

And I didn't shed a tear

I gave you one last minute of my time

In this mess I left behind

When you come home tonight

And turn on the light

Don't you be surprised to find

My little good-byes

Empty hangers by the closet door

Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor

My little good-byes

Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone

I took the Beatles left Billy Joel

Little good-byes little good-byes

I'm sure you're sure I'll be back in just an hour or two

You'll tape a Hallmark to my door

They always said it better than you

And if you're wondering

When you're gonna hear from me

Well take a real good look around boy

And it won't hard to see

When you come home tonight and turn on the light

Don't you be surprised to find

My little good-byes

Took your favorite Dodger's hat

Left the litter but I took the cat

My little good-byes

Loaded up the TV in the back of my car

Have fun watching the VCR

Little good-byes oh baby little good-byes

So cry to your mama

And your sympathetic friends and tell'em

And tell them how the story ends

My little good-byes

Took the hourglass left the sand

Now you got time on your hands

My little good-byes

Took the statue from Japan

Funny little Buddha man

My little good-byes

Change my voice on the machine

Or there'll be little good-byes with every ring

My little good-byes

Left the pictures and took the frame

I've got the umbrella here comes the rain

Yeah yeah yeah

Little good-byes

Rain - yeah yeah yeah

Little good-byes

Hey hey - yeah yeah yeah

Hey hey - yeah yeah yeah

Little good-byes
