Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment
I'd like to choose how I hear the news

Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please


Let me down easy
No big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks

No deep conversation
I know the way we should spend that day
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees

Tell me on a Sunday please

Don't want to know who's to blame

It won't help knowing
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going


Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door

That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze

Tell me on a Sunday please

Don't want to fight day and night

Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door

That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye


Don't run off in the pouring rain
Don't call me as they call your plane
Take the hurt out of all the pain

Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please
