By the time you read this letter
  I'll be outta your life
  Gone forever more
  But guess I'll survive
  I'm gonna leave my records
  And a forwarding address
  Ain't you glad honey
  That I'm offa your chest
  You said you wanted Paris
  Rome 'n' St. Tropez
  Perfume by Chanel
  And a ring by Cartier
  But I gave you headaches
  With my old fashioned ways
  But that's all irrelevant
  To what I'm tryin' to say
  I'm a fool for you baby
  Pride won't let me stay
  I'm a fool for you honey
  and I'll come back any day
  Guess I'll always love you all my life
  
  You can keep your Streisands
  Bardots and Lorens
  You're my everything
  But now you're my end
  It may be over
  But just before I go
  I can make a new start
  But I can't mend a broken heart
  
  So when I read about you
  In all the national press
  On the arm of so and so
  I may get depressed
  Cause I tried to love you
  But didn't fit in
  I came on the dust
  I'll leave on the wind
  
  I'm a fool for you baby
  My pride won't let me stay
  I'm a fool for you honey
  I'll come back any day
  I'm a fool for you baby
  I don't care what your friends say
  I'm a fool for you honey
  And that's the way I'll stay
  I guess I'll always love you all my life
