So long, babe  (lyrics)

I know you're leavin', babe,
Goodbye, so long
I hope someday somebody
Listens to your song.
Those bright lights never ever
Spell your name it's true
Maybe a change of scene
Will be the best for you

So long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe
So long babe

I know you're leavin', babe
Goodbye, so long
Pick up the pieces
And go back where you belong.
You gave them all you had
And what did they give you?
Well they gave you nothin' babe
So give 'em nothin' too

Ah, so long babe, so long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe, so long babe
So long babe

I know you're leavin' babe
Goodbye and so long
You never made it, babe
I wonder what went wrong
They never understood your songs
Here's what you do
Just walk away and leave 'em
And let 'em come to you.

So long babe, so long babe
Yeah, so long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe
So long babe
So long babe
Ah, so long babe
So long babe
Mmm, so long babe
