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 all 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   I gotta find me a potion, to take for the pain   And all you've got to lose, Is my last name      Yeah, all you've got to lose is my last name
