Don't Delay lyrics

It's time for me to get rid of you

I wanna tell you somethin':

We are through!

Goodbye, so long, we're finally through

I wish I could say it's been nice knowin' you

It hasn't stopped rainin' since we first met

And all I want to do is try to forget

You abused my hospitality

(You abused)

And took advantage of me

(I've been used)

But the judgment day is at hand

And I'm givin' you just one command:

Don't delay

This really is your last day today

Don't delay

Why don't take your tired old self away?

Hello, good times, now that you're gone

Don't try to fool me that I was the only one

I don't really care if you're sorry now

You'll just have to make it alone somehow

There aren't enough words in the book

(In the book)

To make me wanna take a second look 

(A second look)

This is my revenge, have no doubt

So pack your bags and get on out

Don't delay

(Don't delay)

This really is your last day today (today, hey)

Don't delay

Why don't take your tired old self away?

It's better to give than receive,

So close the door as you leave

You're goin' away with both your feet

Don't come back down this one-way street

Don't delay

(Don't delay)

This really is your last day today

Don't delay

Why don't take your tired old self away?

Don't you delay, now

(Don't you delay)

You've gone so long, it's time to go

Don't you delay, now

(Don't you delay)

You had your chance, now time to go

You fool, you had your chance

You've reached the end of your little dance

Don't you come crawlin', crawlin' at my feet

I'm a brand new woman and I feel complete

Here I'm standin' so proud, so proud

(Proud and tall)

Don't lie to me now, you've lost it all

(You lost it all)

I don't want you, so just run along

Don't keep on singin' that same old song

Don't delay

This really is your last day today

Don't delay

Why don't you take your tired old self away?

Don't, don't delay
