Don't write a letter
When you want to leave.
Don't call me at three 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 the 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 good-bye.

Find a circus ring
With 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 good-bye.
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.
