I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'
And number one is that I've forgotten number two
Number three is in a place that's been kept hidden
For so long I can't remember but it's true.

I'll give you three more reasons for leavin'
With the first no worse or better than the next two
But rest assured that the third will leave you grievin'
From a tale that's as sad as it is true.

Every night
All night long
I sit and count alone
But every day
Nothin' new
I can't find one to use.

Every night
All night long
I sit right there and count alone
But every day
Nothin' new
I can't find one to use.

I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'
And number one is that I've forgotten number two.

Yeah, number one is that I've forgotten number two.

Number one is that I've forgotten number two...
