Tell Her It's Over
Moe Bandy · One of a Kind (Columbia) [1979]
Hey, friend you don't know me and you don't owe me a thing
But you have somethin' that once belonged to me and to you she's just a fling
Now I can't make you give her up but I had to call anyway
And I hope you'll agree with me when I say.
You don't love her like I do you don't want her
But still you keep sayin' what she wants to hear
You don't need her like I do you won't treat her like I do
So tell her it's over and let her come home.
Tell her it's over find you another
Let her come home to the one that loves her
You don't want her like I do you won't love her like I do
So tell her it's over and let her come home.
--- Instrumental ---
Tell her it's over find you another
Let her come home to the one that loves her
You don't want her like I do you won't love her like I do
So tell her it's over and let her come home.
So tell her it's over and let her come home...
