I'M KISSING YOU GOODBYE
(Even Stevens)


Ray Stevens - 1984





Well, the first time we met, dear, you flashed that come on smile
Your steamy eyed glances nearly drove me wild
So we drove out to the country and parked beneath the stars
When you fogged up my windshield and set my soul afire

Well, you moved into my place that very same night
I was so happy, it was love at first sight
One day I came home early the very next week
Found a man in my closet, said he's playing hide and seek

Now I may be stupid, but I'll never understand
Why he was playing hide and seek with all his clothes in his hand

So get your feet off of my table, get your shoes from under my bed
Get your hat off of my hat rack, put it on your head
Get your coat out of my closet, put it on your back
Get your Ferlin Husky records, darlin', it's time for you to pack

Get your arms from around me, it ain't no use to try
Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissin' you goodbye

(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth and wipe off that silly grin
(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth, ain't no tellin' where it's been
(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth and don't try that again
(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth
(Get your tongue) Git yer tongue outta my mouth!

Lets just say adios with a kiss and a sigh
Get your tongue outta my mouth 'cause I'm kissin' you goodbye

Well, the flame has flickered and the passion has cooled
I hate to lose you, darlin', but I won't be fooled
'Cause you just can't be true, dear, you're spreading it around
You've shattered all that mattered, gonna have to put you down

So get your dog outta my dog house, your cat outta my tree
Get your bird outta my bird cage, I'm settin' you free
Get your toothbrush outta my bathroom, your stockin's off my line
Get your curlers off o' my dresser, darlin', you ain't no friend o' mine

Get your arms from around me, I won't believe your lies
Get your tongue outta my mouth, 'cause I'm kissin' you goodbye

(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth and wipe off that silly grin
(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth, ain't no tellin' where it's been
(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth and don't try that again
(Get your tongue) Outta my mouth 
(Get your tongue) Git yer tongue outta my mouth!

Lets just say adios with a kiss and a sigh
Get your tongue outta of my mouth, 'cause I'm kissin' you goodbye!

(Get your tongue outta my mouth)
Come on now (muffled words to end of song)
