If I Have to Go by Tom Waits Lyrics
And if I have to go
Will you remember me
Will you find someone else
While I'm away
There's nothing for me in this world full of strangers
It's all someone else's idea
I don't belong here and you can't go with me
You'll only slow me down
Until I send for you
Don't wear your hair that way
If you cannot be true
I'll understand
Tell all the others you'll hold in your arms
I said I'd come back for you
I'll leave my jacket to keep you warm
That's all that I can do
And if I have to go
Will you remember me
Or will you find someone else
While I'm away
Will you remember me
Will you find someone else
While I'm away
There's nothing for me in this world full of strangers
It's all someone else's idea
I don't belong here and you can't go with me
You'll only slow me down
Until I send for you
Don't wear your hair that way
If you cannot be true
I'll understand
Tell all the others you'll hold in your arms
I said I'd come back for you
I'll leave my jacket to keep you warm
That's all that I can do
And if I have to go
Will you remember me
Or will you find someone else
While I'm away
