Oh please, don't talk about me when I'm gone Although our friendship ceases from now on Hey Carmen, if you can't say anything real nice It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice We are parting You go your way I'll go mine It's best that we do Here's a little kiss I hope that this brings lots of love to you Makes no difference how I carry on 'Cause baby I know you'd better not talk about me when I'm gone
