Leaving You (Was Like Quitting My Day Job)

Lyrics

I found your note tucked in my mailbox today The words that you wrote didn’t quite fill half the page You’re sorry for what? You don’t quite understand Well I hope my reply comes as no surprise ‘Cause leaving you was just like quitting my day job And like hitting it big in Vegas Or watching out my front window As Ed McMahon shuffles on up to my doorstep And I feel that great big check in my hand The day that I left, we hadn’t a word left to say Betrayed and bereft, half hoping you’d ask me to stay I somehow made it clear to the end of the drive And I hopped in that cab and never looked back. Oh one last thing my darling Take it from me It’s true what they say honey The best things in this life are free
