In our beginning when we met you seemed so happy

You said you'd found what you'd been waitin' for so long

Someone like me who understood your need for lovin'

Through good or bad or whether things went right or wrong

You said you'd never known a love without conditions

Too many takers but no one out there to give

Afraid to break loose from your deeper inhibitions

You feared your dreams were fancies that you'd never live

Well it may be I don't know sugar from Shinola

But if you ever wanna hear what I believe is true

Just pop this C D in your Red Chinese Victrola

Then you might learn much more than I have been lettin' on to you

I took a chance an' then I took you at face value

Convinced myself how you would give back all you got

Though I'm no fool I've fallen short of perfect judgment

Because I saw in you someone who you are not

You took for weakness my desire just to please you

I always gave you lots of room to be yourself

All that I needed was for you to remain faithful

But now I've found out you've been doin' somethin' else

Well it may be I don't know sugar from Shinola

But if you ever wanna hear what I believe is true

Just pop this C D in your Red Chinese Victrola

Then you might learn much more than I have been lettin' on to you

This so-long song is meant to drop the final curtain

At last to end your tacky two-time masquerade

With no regrets at heart I leave you feelin' certain

My sorry memory of you will surely fade

Well it may be I don't know sugar from Shinola

But if you ever wanna hear what I believe is true

Just pop this C D in your Red Chinese Victrola

Then you might learn much more than I have been lettin' on to you

Auf wiedersehn... adieu... farewell an' dasvidanya

Aloha oe... shalom an' ciao... arrivederci too

May I just add au revoir then say sayonara

An' so you'll never have a doubt let me say goodbye to you

So you will never have a doubt let me say goodbye to you!
