Going, Going, Gone - Brook Benton

Sometimes looking back I can’t

Believe how many times I left her

I guess it’s all part of the game

That we play

All is fair in love and war

But in this case they’re quite the same thing

What’s the difference if I go

Or if I stay?

I tried to tell her

I was not the only one to turn to

But she was indifferent to my pleas

And now she’s

Going, going, gone

And I did nothing wrong

But she’s going, going, gone

If I disappeared tonight

It would not change her mind about me

She’s in love with someone who has changed

Since that day

She tried to tell me

I was not the only one to turn to

But I won’t get down on my knees

So she’s

Going, going, gone

And I did nothing wrong

But she’s going, going, gone
