Don't write a letter when you want to leave

Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment

I'd like to choose how I hear the news

Take me to a park that's covered with trees

Tell me on a Sunday please



Let me down easy

No big song and dance

No long faces, no long looks

No deep conversation

I know the way we should spend that day

Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees

Tell me on a Sunday please





Don't want to know who's to blame

It won't help knowing

Don't want to fight day and night

Bad enough you're going





Don't leave in silence with no word at all

Don't get drunk and slam the door

That's no way to end this

I know how I want you to say goodbye

Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze

Tell me on a Sunday please





Don't want to fight day and night

Bad enough you're going

Don't leave in silence with no word at all

Don't get drunk and slam the door

That's no way to end this

I know how I want you to say goodbye





Don't run off in the pouring rain

Don't call me as they call your plane

Take the hurt out of all the pain

Take me to a park that's covered with trees

Tell me on a Sunday please
