I epitomise restraint
But time has tempered my discretion
I'm bound to betray myself someday
I'm hittin' the road and sayin' goodbye
I'll never walk backwards
Let the sun get in my eyes

Oh, don't make me laugh
You're not fooled by the way
I come over
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry
So long, goodbye

This parted history we share
Poorly wrapped and hardly mentioned
I know the reciprocal glint in your eye
It's hard to know
Who's telling a lie
You'd never say never
To see your vanity deprived

Oh, don't make me laugh
You're not fooled by the way
I come over
Don't make me laugh
And don't make me cry
So long goodbye

Don't make me laugh,
There is no other way
I could know her
Don't make me laugh
And don't make me cry
So long goodbye

(Cos you're mine)

Don't make me laugh
You're not fooled by the way
I come over
Don't make me laugh
And don't make me cry
So long goodbye

Don't make me laugh
There is no other way
I could know her
Don't make me laugh
And don't make me cry
So long (so long)
So long (so long)
So long (so long)
Goodbye
