If You Must Tell Him

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

So when he lies upon you

Just close your eyes and be quiet

I know it's hard

You've tried so hard
