By the Way Songtext
von Ruby & the Romantics

So you came here tonight
To say goodbye
You′re sorry things went wrong
Huh, well, so am I
Oh, by the way, before you go
Won't you at least kiss me goodbye?
You already did, huh, funny I forgot
Oh, so funny that I could cry

And by the way, if we should meet
And your new love is standing by
Turn your head away
Please don′t look at me
If you do, I'll start to cry


There's some consolation
In parting as friends
And you know, love is such a funny thing
Perhaps it′s not really the end
And by the way, just in case
Things don′t work out quite like you planned
Please don't be ashamed to come back to me
Oh, believe me, I′ll understand
Oh, don't be ashamed to come back to me
Oh, believe me, I′ll understand

Darling, please believe me
I'll understand
Baby, please believe me
I′ll understand
Please, please believe me
