Don't you worry I won't try to make him come back to me If he doesn't want to stay Just want to tell you what would make him happy What might keep from leaving you The way he's leaving me today He takes his coffee in the morning Just a little warning Lukewarm, with cream The softer kind of singing sends his heart to winging Sing him a dream Love him in December, so he won't remember me Wasn't his fault Wasn't my fault either Before we started Guess we should've thought it through Now you've got him So before you lose him like I lost him Let me tell you what to do So he won't be leaving you He likes his cigarettes and brandy You better keep them handy, come sweet loving time Talking about the good days Trying out the new ways Songs that don't rhyme Love him in December, so he won't remember me
