| Lyrics:M.Quittenton Music:R.Stewart | |
| Fare thee well my brother | |
| please don't stand in my way | |
| I'm going down to that dirty town | |
| no matter what you say | |
| You fooled me and you ruled me | |
| and you played in every part | |
| I gotta go, it's no use me stayin' home | |
| Goodbye my sister | |
| please don't let me see you cry | |
| Gonna be a star some day | |
| no matter what they say | |
| And when you hear the crowds | |
| all callin' and shouting out my name | |
| until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied | |
| So long sweet Melinda | |
| don't forget that you're my girl | |
| Gonna dress you fine | |
| and if you give me time | |
| make you proud like I said I would | |
| And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy | |
| If I find the world looks like it should | |
| Candy cars, movie stars, street bars | |
| then I could stay a while | |
| Well I love you | |
| Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome | |
| and I'll miss you all | |
| even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back | |
| Farewell all my family | |
| don't you know I mean you so well | |
| Please appreciate I must make a break | |
| just to see what I can do | |
| The stage is set so understand | |
| I can't hide in the wings no more | |
| I've got to go now it's no use me staying home | |
| All I can say is I love you | |
| Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome | |
| And I think I'm always gonna miss you | |
| And I love you always | |
| I think I'm always gonna miss ya | |
| even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back | |
| And I love you and I miss you | |
| If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail | |
| But I love you and I miss you |
