Hey girl I want you to know,
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
And hey girl I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long
If this is good-bye
Oh hey girl this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you
And, hey girl. now don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone
How will I live
How can I go on
How can I go on
Hey girl
Oh hey girl now sit yourself down
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground
And beg, beg you to stay
Don't, don't go away
Hey girl
No, no, don't go away
Hey girl
Oh no please, don't go away
Hey girl
Don't go away
Hey girl
Don't go away
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
And hey girl I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long
If this is good-bye
Oh hey girl this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you
And, hey girl. now don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone
How will I live
How can I go on
How can I go on
Hey girl
Oh hey girl now sit yourself down
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground
And beg, beg you to stay
Don't, don't go away
Hey girl
No, no, don't go away
Hey girl
Oh no please, don't go away
Hey girl
Don't go away
Hey girl
Don't go away
