Get Out of Town
Verse:The farce was ended,The curtain drawn,And I at least pretendedThat love was dead and gone.But not from nowhereYou come to me as before,To take my heartAnd break my heartOnce more.
Refrain:Get out of town,Before it's too late, my love,Get out of town,Be good to me, please.Why wish me harm?Why not retire to a farmAnd be contented to charmThe birds off the trees?Just disappearI care for you much too much,And when you are near,Close to me, dear,We touch too much.The thrill when we meetIs so bitter-sweetThat, darling, it's getting me down,So on your mark, get set,Get out of town.
