I can feel your goodbye comin' like a storm up from the South   The rain'll splatter at the back door, the wind'll whistle 'round the house   So it's you and Howie Johnston somebody told me at the store   I guess I'd better get used to the idea of you not around anymore      And so, I'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst   And I'd better get use to the hunger and thirst   I gotta find me a potion to take for the pain   And though you've got to lose is my last name      I know he's cute and he's got money, I ain't no handsome fancy Dan   In a way it's sad and kinda funny, you'll be okay and I'll be damned   So I best be gettin' ready for the bitter nights alone   Sleepin' on the couch wake up starting out, livin' life on my own      And so, I'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst   And I'd better get use to the hunger and thirst   You gotta find me a potion to take for the pain   And though you've got to lose is my last name   Yeah, all you've got to lose is my last name
