I don't wanna stay 'til the lights come on

I just can't relate to the words of this love song

What's it gonna take to right all the wrongs?

'Cause, right now, I can't give you what you want

Everybody's still dancin'

Everybody's holdin' hands and romancin'

Someone's gotta be the last one standin'

And I hate that I'm leavin' you stranded

But I gotta hit the road

But I gotta hit the road

It's not a broken heart if I don't break it

"Goodbye" doesn't hurt if I don't say it

And I really hope you'll understand it

Only way to go is a French exit

French exit, filer à l'anglaise

French exit

Maybe time away will make it make sense

I'm better at a clean break than leavin' doors open

I know you're gonna say I should've stayed 'til the end

But, right now, I can't give you what you want

Everybody's still dancin'

Everybody's holdin' hands and romancin'

Someone's gotta be the last one standin'

And I hate that I'm leavin' you stranded

But I gotta hit the road

Yeah, I gotta hit the road

It's not a broken heart if I don't break it

"Goodbye" doesn't hurt if I don't say it

And I really hope you'll understand it

Only way to go is a French exit

And you know, you know, you know, you know I'm right

And it's better to do this than say goodbye

And the only, only, only fix is time

And a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night

It's not a broken heart if I don't break it (ooh)

"Goodbye" doesn't hurt if I don't say it (and you know, you know)

(You know, you know I'm right)

And I really hope you'll understand it (and you know, you know, you know, you know)

Only way to go is a French exit (ooh)

French exit, filer à l'anglaise

French exit, c'est la seule solution

French exit

French exit
