(Harlan Howard)

He's giving you the eye and you don't seem to mind
I think you're kinda proud of it and it shows
Well if that's how you are I'm glad I learned in time
But baby goodbye is as easy to say as hello.

Take it and go, take it and go
Now I guess you thought that I might beg you to stay
To take it and go, take it and go
I guess I didn't want it anyway.

--- Instrumental ---

I was all alone when you came along
And I won't be tasting something that is new to me
I don't wanna love at all unless it's true and strong
If you're gonna be a problem to me alone I'd rather be.

Take it and go, take it and go
Now I guess you thought that I might beg you to stay
To take it and go, take it and go
I guess I didn't want it anyway.

Anyway, anyway...
