I can tell there's somethin' you don't wanna tell me
It's killin' you, 'cause the words are hard to find
I know you wanna break it to me gently
Well, sweet baby, say what's on your mind

(One, two, three!)

Let 'er rip, let it fly
Come on, baby, say it
Do you think I'm gonna cry?
I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
So, if you're gonna say Good-bye, don't take all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly

Why the drama?
We don't have to drag-out the situation
It wasn't you, it wasn't me
Sometimes, the chemistry don't ignite
There ain't no rings, no mortgage
There ain't any complications
It's just a hyphenated word
Get it out, I'm sure I'll be alright

Let 'er rip, let it fly
Come on, baby, say it
Do you think I'm gonna cry?
I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
So, if you're gonna say Good-bye, don't take all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly

It ain't no big deal
It ain't no great loss
You and I are on the same train-of-thought
So, you don't have to tell me where to get-off
Maybe I misunderstood ya
If you're leavin', baby, would you

Let 'er rip? Let it fly
Come on, baby, say it
Do ya think I'm gonna cry?
I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
So, if you're gonna say Good-bye, don't take all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly

So, if you're gonna say Good-bye, don't take all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly
