I don't really know how to say this, but I want to tell you that I
You gave me the will to go on as soon as I picked up the phone
No no you don't understand Loretta, I'm trying to tell you that I
The talk is around that we're through, yeah, I know I've heard it too
Oh darling, tell me what to do
But that's just it that's what I'm trying to tell you I wanna tell you that
I knew you'd tell me, they were wrong as soon as I picked up the phone
Oh but, it's true, they're not wrong
Oh no, I'm sorry Loretta, oh no, I can't believe that it's true
I'm sorry Loretta, I'm really, really sorry
Oh no, oh no I can't believe that we're through
I know, you know that I never thought it would come to this
You tell me it's over and done
I really thought that I loved you and you know that
You say that you've had all your fun
You've just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you
But I can't believe, you'll be gone
This is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do and it hurts me too
As soon as I hang up the phone, yeah, I'll be gone
As soon as I hang up the phone, goodbye Loretta
