So you think I'll sit around and cry,
The day you say, "Toodle-oo, goodbye!",
Oh yes?
Take another guess!

Oh, you think no-one can fill your shoes,
And when you're gone then I'll have the blues,
Oh yes?
Take another guess!

If you go your way,
Then I'll go my way,
And if you do as well as I do,
Honey, you'll do okay!

Oh, you think I'll die of loneliness
And the deep blue sea is my next address,
Oh yes?
Take another guess!

Don't ya hear me talkin' to ya?
Take another guess!

If you think that I'll be blue,
Take another guess!

If you go your way,
Then I'll go my way,
And if you do as well as I do,
Honey, you'll do okay!

Oh, you think I'll die of loneliness
And the deep blue sea is my next address,
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes?
Take another guess!
