You say the time has come for you to go
Why you've decided this, I'll never know
You say you've lost the love you felt for me
Well, baby, you won't find it if you leave

Pardon me, if I don't understand
How a love like ours can turn out bad
You tell me I'll be fine alone
Without the love I'm leaning on
Well, pardon me, if I don't understand

I can't see how you'll be happy far away
But what's best for you is not for me to say
So I'll try to keep my feelings to myself
But forgive me if I don't do too well

Pardon me, if I don't understand
How a love like ours can turn out bad
You tell me I'll be fine alone
Without the love I'm leaning on
Well, pardon me, if I don't understand

You tell me I'll be fine alone
Without the love I'm leaning on
Well, pardon me, if I don't understand
