How do I tell you it's over
How can I convince you to move on
How can I get you to see that your last love won't be me
That all we once had is now gone

Yes, it's true in the past that I loved you
But those tears that I cried are no more
Please just try to understand that you'll never be my man
My heart has gone away and closed the door

How do I tell you it's over
How can I convince you to move on
How can I get you to see that your last love won't be me
That all we once had is now gone

Now please don't ask for things you could work
Don't you see, dear, you've done nothing wrong
I just came to let you know that my answer's still a no
Your love for me has lasted far too long

And how do I tell you it's over
How can I convince you to move on
How can I get you to see that your last love won't be me
That all we once had is now gone

Now look right there, Sally Anne, she's a nice girl
And I heard my mama say she's sweet on you
Well, I've tried my very best, won't you please give me a rest
Just go on now and find somebody new

How do I tell you it's over
How can I convince you to move on
How can I get you to see that your last love won't be me
That all we once had is now gone

Oh honey, how do I tell you it's over
How can I convince you to move on
How can I get you to see that your last love won't be me
That all we once had is now gone
How can I get you to see that your last love won't be me
That all we once had is now gone
