Lyrics
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry about my well-being or concern yourself with me.
I'll get along
I'll manage and move forward on my own.
Forget about me
Put me out of your thoughts; don't dwell on our past.
Just be happy my love
Focus on your happiness, my love, regardless of our separation.
Let's say that our little show is over

And so the story ends

Why not call it a day the sensible way

And still be friends

Look out for yourself

That should be the rule

Give your heart and your love
Give your heart and love to whoever you choose.
To whomever you love

Darlin' don't be a fool

Why do we cling to this old faded thing
Question the attachment to a faded and past relationship.
That used to be

Why should we cling to some old faded thing
