If you must tell him   Tell him gently   Say that he had a clever mind but add that he was too smart for his own good   That's all there was      If you must tell him   Tell him gently   The other one was handsome but he knew it all too well and that was it   That's all there was      You say you should be rational   You say you should be more true to yourself   And if that's all there is...      I know you could be rational   I know you could be more true to yourself   And if that's all there is...      There are ways to leave him   I think eight ways to leave your man      There are ways to leave him   But you will not leave your man      Something in his pocket stops you ohhohho      He would most likely rather know you   As the one who threw up everytime a boy passed by until she met the one   I know it's hard      And don't mention the one you loved by   All of your heart and never got over, partly because he was run over by a car   I know it's hard   You've tried so hard
