When it's over
Really over
There ain't nothin' can start it over again
Pack your bags and leave
Ain't no use to grieve
Though you've lost a lover
Try to win a friend
The partings easier
When there are smiles instead of tears
In your dreams you see that moment
Even if you live a million years
Shake hands goodbye then
For remember when
Though you've lost a lover
Try to win a friend
Let him go home, and cry your eyes out
You'll only feel a little better
Try to keep your body busy
And let your mind forget him
'cause when it's over
Really over
There ain't nothin' can start it over again
Shake hands goodbye then
For remember when
Though you've lost a lover
Try to win a friend.
Though you leave behind a lover
Leave behind a friend
Try to win a friend
