I've got to go because I've got to go I've just got to go, I'm sorry, but I've got to go I've got to leave you now I've got to ride into the sunset I don't know when or how we'll meet again But it's a sure bet On returning we'll restart it Like we never really parted "Thanks for having me" My mum taught me to say as a lad Even when things were bad But I said it as I left a party once And the dad said "thanks for being had!" So don't think that I don't like your company Quite the contrary; I wish that I could stay For my love for you exceeds the cupful Exponential each moment I'm away I've got to leave you now The time we lose won't be a big loss 'Cos when the fates allow We'll get together for a good goss
