By the time you read this letter

I'll be outta your life

Gone forever more

But guess I'll survive

I'm gonna leave my records

And a forwarding address

Ain't you glad honey

That I'm offa your chest



You said you wanted Paris

Rome 'n' St. Tropez

Perfume by Chanel

And a ring by Cartier

But I gave you headaches

With my old fashioned ways

But that's all irrelevant

To what I'm tryin' to say

I'm a fool for you baby

Pride won't let me stay

I'm a fool for you honey

and I'll come back any day

Guess I'll always love you all my life



You can keep your Streisands

Bardots and Lorens

You're my everything

But now you're my end

It may be over

But just before I go

I can make a new start

But I can't mend a broken heart



So when I read about you

In all the national press

On the arm of so and so

I may get depressed

Cause I tried to love you

But didn't fit in

I came on the dust

I'll leave on the wind



I'm a fool for you baby

My pride won't let me stay

I'm a fool for you honey

I'll come back any day

I'm a fool for you baby

I don't care what your friends say

I'm a fool for you honey

And that's the way I'll stay

I guess I'll always love you all my life
