So what is it about me'
Hey, what am I supposed to say'
You could make my day, or you could make a picture of the times we had,
You might get sad,
You might get rich someday; if you do I might get mad,
Remembering that month I spent,
You said you were my only friend.

So now be a dear and leave me alone,
Don't come by or call up my phone,
And if there is somewhere that you need to be, don't make it here with me.

Don't try to clean the carpet stain,
You don't have to close that creaky gate,
Hey, you'll get alone just fine,
You might even make a song, or find someone to hang those troubles on,
On and on in my memory,
Hey, wait, you're fading out, about the way you faded in,
Remind me of your name again.

And then be a dear and leave me alone,
And don't come by or tie up my phone,
If there's somewhere that you have to be, don't worry about me.

Remind me of your name again.

And then be a dear and leave me alone,
Don't come by or call up my phone,
If there is somewhere that you need to be, try not being here with me
I wish that I knew you when I was a patient sort of guy,
You're fading; you might be someone that I used to know.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
