I can feel your goodbye comin'

Like a storm up from the south

The rain'll splatter at the back door

The wind'll whistle 'round the house

So it's you and Howie Johnston

Somebody told me at the store

I guess I'd better get used

To the idea of you

Not around anymore



[Chorus]

And so, I'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst

And I'd better get use to the hunger and thirst

I gotta find me a potion

To take for the pain

And all you've got to lose

Is my last name



I know he's cute and he's got money

I ain't no handsome fancy Dan

In a way it's sad and kinda funny

You'll be ok and I'll be damned

So I best be gettin' ready

For the bitter nights alone

Sleepin' on the couch

Wake up starting out

Livin' life on my own



[Repeat Chorus]



Yeah, all you've got to lose is my last name
