Del Shannon I Won't Be There song lyrics

You treated me mean and cruel

I'm such a fool for you

You say you're gonna live

Darling, please, don't set me free

Maybe someday you'll want me

and when you really want me

you'll turn around: I won't be there

I know the boy you're dreaming of tonight

It just don't quite seem right

That he is your guy

Oh, oh, why-ih don't you take it over

Before you said "It's over"

Forget he ever held you tight

He is only going to break your heart in two

Oh, it just can't be true

That he is your guy

You left me once before

To go with him

Then he left you

You came back to me again

Maybe someday you'll miss me

And when you really miss me

You'll turn around: I won't be there

You loved me for a-while

Then set me free

What is my destiny,

if he is your guy?

If he is your guy

If he is your guy
