Desiree It's killin' me to write the word 'goodbye' I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries We both know the reason There ain't nothing to explain But I know that my leavin' Will spare us both the pain
chorus Desiree I can't hold you any longer Desiree you love his money more than me And the taxi's at the gate I guess all that's left to say Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page 'I love you Desiree'
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have And to write this note to you Was the hardest thing to do
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy Who can't afford a girl like you
Repeat chorus
God, I love you Desiree But I just can't take it anymore I won't be around for your goodbye I won't be around for your goodbye You love his money more than me I won't be around for your goodbye You love his money more than me I won't be around for your goodbye Oh you love his money, you love it more than me I was just a fool who couldn't see That you love his money, you love it more than me
