Why cry when she tells you she's leaving A teardrop or two won't keep her loving you Be grateful she's gone no more to lead you on Only fools want to try living a lie You can't change her mind with your grievin' It's wrong to pretend let it end This first love may die But you've still got time give it one more try And that's better than living a lie You don't have to cry when you kiss her goodbye You can find someone else if you give it a try Somebody else with a heart so true That she'll never never never stop loving you Be grateful she's gone no more to lead you on Only fools want to try living a lie I know that you're sad but it's not so bad When you think of the heartaches you might've had She's only a flirt with a rovin' eye Let her go don't you know you're a lucky guy This first love may die But you've still got time give it one more try And that's better than livin’ a lie And that's better than livin' a lie
