Please don’t talk about me
1
Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone
oh darling though our friendship ceases from now on
And listen, if you can’t say anything real nice
It’s better not to talk at all, that’s my advice
We’re parting, you go your way, I’ll go mine
It’s best that we do
Here’s a kiss I hope that this brings
Lots of luck to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
Remember please don’t you talk about me when I’m gone

Lots of luck to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
Remember please don’t talk about me
oh please don’t talk about me
please don’t you talk about me when I’m gone
