So Long Baby
Breaking Hearts and Moving On: Del Shannon's 'So Long Baby' Tale
Lyrics
I see you're laughing and ah
I notice that you're laughing
Telling everyone in town
Telling everyone around
That you've made a fool of me
Claiming that you've embarrassed me
Well go and talk some more 'cause
Go ahead and gossip more because
Baby I don't care no more
I'm indifferent now
You don't bother me at all
You no longer affect me
'Cause I got news for you
Informing you that I have news
I was untrue too
I was also unfaithful
And I don't care what you say
I don't care about your opinions
So go and laugh some more 'cause
So continue to mock because
Baby I don't care no more
I'm not bothered anymore
I've got another lover of my own
I have found another romantic partner
Step by step you put me down,
Step by step, you belittle me
Always calling me a clown
Consistently labeling me as a fool
If you ever go away, promise me that you'll stay
If you decide to leave, ensure you stay
Far, far, far, far, far from me
Far away from me
Now that we've played our game
Reflecting on the game we played
I guess we're both to blame
We both share the responsibility
We tried to break each other's hearts
We attempted to hurt each other emotionally
You had one jump on me but
You had an advantage, but
I jumped twice you see
I jumped twice, countering your moves
It's all over now be on your way
It's all concluded, time for you to leave
So long baby, be on your way-e-yay-e
Farewell, go on your way
I had a ball, you thought I'd fall
I enjoyed myself, contrary to your expectations
You had one jump on me but
You had a head start, but
I jumped twice you see
I leaped ahead twice, as you can see
It's all over now be on your way
It's all over, time for you to depart
So long baby, be on your way!
Farewell, go on your way!
So long baby, be on your way!
-So long baby, be on your way!
