The farce was ended   The curtain drawn   And I at least pretended   That love was dead and gone      But now from nowhere   You come to me as before   To take my heart   And break my heart once more      Get out of town   Before it's too late my love   Get out of town   Be good to me please      Why wish me harm?   Why not retire to a farm?   And be contented to charm   The birds off the trees      Just disappear   I care for you much too much   And when you're near   Close to me dear we touch too much      The thrill when we meet   Is so bittersweet that   Darling it's getting me down   On your mark, get set, get out of town      Just disappear   I care for you much too much   And when you're near   Close to me dear we touch too much      The thrill when we meet   Is so bittersweet that   Darling it's getting me down   On your mark, get set, get out of town      On your mark, get set, get out of town   Get out of town   Get out of town   Get out of town
