Hello, young lover, you ain't gonna get to my heart
Hello, young lover, you ain't gonna get to start
Everybody knows that
From the start
You've been nothing but a pro at
Breaking hearts
You know that everyone all over
Keeps repeating
That you're just a casanova
With your cheatin' and your lies
Everyone around says you're from another town
That you're nothing but a playboy
Take my advice and think about it twice and
Go and find yourself another playtoy
You ain't a-gonna sell me
Don't even try
'Cause there's nothing you can tell me
To change my mind
'Cause you've left a trail behind you
And just you wait and see
In jail, they're gonna find you
And then they'll throw away the key
Oh, goodbye, young lover, you ain't gonna get to my heart
I said, goodbye, young lover, you ain't gonna get to start
You ain't a-gonna sell me
Don't even try
'Cause there's nothing you can tell me
To change my mind
'Cause you've left a trail behind you
And just you wait and see
In jail, they're gonna find you
And then they'll throw away the key
I said, goodbye, young lover, you ain't gonna get to my heart
Oh, goodbye, young lover, you ain't gonna get to start
