I Won't Be There

(앨범: Hats Off To Del Shannon - 1962)

You treat me mean and cruel,
I'm such a fool for you,
You say you're gonna leave,
Darling please don't set me free,

Maybe someday you'll want me
And when you really want me,
You'll turn around,
I won't be there,

I know the boy you're dreaming of tonight,
It just don't quite seem right,
That he's your guy,

Oh why,
Don't you think it over,
Before you say it's over,
Forget he ever held you tight,

He's only going to break your heart in two,
Oh it just can't be true,
That he's your guy,

You left me once before,
To go with him,
Then he left you,
You came back to me again,

Maybe someday you'll miss me,
And when you really miss me,
You'll turn around,
I won't be there,

You'll love me for a while then set me free,
What is my destiny,
If he's your guy,
If he's your guy,
If he's your guy
