Lyrics[]

If you're gonna go, then go
Stop looking out the window
Don't wake me up to say
Goodbye, You're on your way
If you're gonna go, then go

If you're gonna cheat, then cheat
Lying is a one way street
You can't turn around
At least not in this town
If you're gonna cheat, then cheat

One thing I used to love about you baby
You used to deal the cards
With no slight of hand
You used to say what you mean
Mean what you say
Look in my eyes
Stay face to face
You can trust me
You know that you can
Well there goes the last honest man

If you're gonna pray, then pray
I'm not gonna kneel with you
Or show you the way
I ain't Jesus no
I can't forgive your soul
If you're gonna pray, then pray

One thing I used to love about you baby
You weren't a beggar holding out your hand
You used to say what you mean
Mean what you say
Look in my eyes
Stay face to face
You can trust me
You know that you can
Well there goes the last honest man

Let me help you with your things
Baby just keep the ring
One thing I used to love about you baby
You knew when it was time to fold a hand
When you walk out the door
Won't turn around
Not hear me cry
But you block out the sound
Baby I'll understand
But there goes the last honest man
Man
Bye, bye baby, bye, bye
Bye, bye baby, bye, bye
Bye, bye baby, bye bye
