Chorus:
Chorus of the song.
If you see me go, well, don't you look my way. You just turn your head. Don't you watch me walk away.
Advice not to observe the departure, suggesting emotional pain.
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay 'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today.
Expressing a final departure due to repeated emotional injuries.
Well, I wish for you the good times that I've never seen and for you the peace of mind that I never knew,
Wishing the ex-partner good times and peace of mind the singer never experienced.
'Cause cryin' tired and lonely is a hard way to be and it's cryin' tired and lonely and you I wanta say.
Describing the emotional toll of crying, tiredness, and loneliness.
If you hear my voice, don't you look and see. Don't you turn and find that it really wasn't me.
Request not to recognize the departing voice, indicating a desire to leave unnoticed.
Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm a-leavin' you to stay 'cause you've injured this poor soul once too often for today.
Reiterating the decision to leave due to repeated emotional harm.
They say that talkin' at your mind can help a troubled soul but your mind has nothin' left to say
Explaining that talking to the mind is futile as there is nothing left to say.
'Cause it's bad times and hard luck that's all I've come to know and it's bad times and hard luck, every day, I'm telling you.
Expressing a life filled with bad times and hard luck.
