The farce was ended
The curtain drawn
And I at least pretended

That love was dead and gone

But now from nowhere

You come to me as before
To take my heart
And break my heart once more


Get out of town
Before it's too late, my love

Get out of town
Be good to me, please


Why wish me harm?
Why not retire to a farm?
And be contented to charm

The birds off the trees

Just disappear

I care for you much too much
And when you're near
Close to me dear, we touch too much


The thrill when we meet
Is so bittersweet that

Darling, it's getting me down
On your mark, get set, get out of town


Just disappear
I care for you much too much
And when you're near

Close to me dear, we touch too much

The thrill when we meet

Is so bittersweet that
Darling it's getting me down
On your mark, get set, get out of town


On your mark, get set, get out of town
Get out of town

Get out of town
Get out of town
