She's a hard woman to please And I thought about letting her know She's a hard lady to leave And I thought about letting her go She's a tough lady to leave But I thought about it She's a hard lady to please Yes, she is I gave her laughter She wanted diamonds I was romantic She treated my cruelly Where is the mercy? Where is the love? You see, passion has a funny way Of burning down and running low And suddenly it goes out And you wonder where does it go? She's a hard woman to please I've thought about letting her know She's a hard lady to leave Yes, she is I gave her laughter She wanted diamonds She was unfaithful, treated me cruelly Where is the mercy? Where is the love? I'm alone at last Something inside of me knows I could have loved in vain for a thousand years I have to let her go I've got to let her go ♪ I've got to say goodbye ♪ How can I say goodbye to my baby? She's a tough cookie, hard lady ♪ I've got to say goodbye, yeah ♪ Alone at last and something inside of me knows ♪ I could have loved in vain for a thousand years I have to let her go And time goes so fast and new love starts so slow I could have loved in vain for a thousand years I have to let her go I've got to let her go ♪ I've got to say goodbye ♪ Hard woman to please, yes you are Hard woman, tough lady I've got to, I've got to say goodbye How can I say goodbye to my baby?
