Everything that I tell you girl, every word that you hear
Every little whisper, let me make myself clear
There ain't no lies to deceive you, I love you too much for that
Every word that I say is true, you can believe me on that
My friends tell me jealous lies
Now I'm getting my goodbyes
A life without you, my dear
Was dull, as dull as can be
I ask you, my love, why not take me now
Not to leave me in misery
If you take in all they say
I guess i'll be on my way
Please, my darling, it's not true
I don't know this girl called Sue
Sue's a name I have not heard
I lost my girl from that one word
Will she come back, I just don't know
And I'm takin' a heavy blow, oh
I've got myself together
I can't go on in this cold weather
Christmas comes but once a year
It's a time of love and cheer
Your friends tell you jealous lies
Now I'm getting my goodbyes
