I wonder what's in your past
makes you resist my every claim
do you have no sympathy
as I stand in this cold, cold rain

I wrote you letters, wrote you music
painted paintings by the score
I wrote you poems, wrote you stories
and danced them to your door

say goodbye to Pearly King, dear
say goodbye to Pearly King
he has loved and he has lost, dear
but he done tried everything

I come just to be going
and I bid you fond adieu
somewhere down the road, dear
I'll find somebody new

say goodbye to Pearly King, dear
say goodbye to Pearly King
he has loved and he has lost, dear
but he done tried everything

I have come just to be going
I have come for to depart
and I leave you with my compliments
my pistol and my heart

say hello to heartbreak, darlin
say hello to lonely nights
come a day you're gonna miss me
but Pearly will be alright

say goodbye to Pearly King, dear
say goodbye to Pearly King
he has loved and he has lost, dear
but he done tried everything

better than you by nathan williams
