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 tonite
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
Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone
I took the Beatles, left Billy Joel
My 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 ya wondering when you're gonna hear from me
Well take a real good look around boy
And it won't be hard to see
When you come home tonite
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My Little Good-byes
Took your favorite Dodgers hat
Left the litter, but I took the cat
Loaded up the TV in the back of my car
Have fun watching the VCR
My Little Good-byes
So cry to your mama and your sympathetic friends
And tell em, tell them how the story ends
Took the hourglass left the sand
Now you got time on your hands
Took the statue from Japan
Funny little Buddah man
Change my voice on the machine
Or there'll be little goodbyes with every ring
Left the pictures and took the frames
I've got the umbrella, here comes the ra-in, yeah yeah yeah
Ra-in, yeah yeah yeah
He-ey, yeah yeah yeah
He-ey, yeah yeah yeah
Little Good-Byes
