[Verse 1]
He always gets so mad at things you'd laugh at
"Don't get so worked up", you'd say
But on the back deck, you admit that
You haven't felt much like laughing lately, anyway
And so I say, "Hey, that could change"

[Verse 2]
I notice how you waste no time
Making your way across the room
You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you
It isn't no coincidence
Where you finally choose to stand

[Refrain]
Yeah, I guess soon
Soon you'll be leaving
Your man

[Verse 3]
First it's a sweet smile and then a denial
Hey, you're just trying to be nice to me
But there is a meaning to evеry fleeting action we unconsciously decide
Now, thе clocks they chime
So now it's time
[Verse 4]
I know you try to play it cool
But there are some thoughts you just can't hide
Only in your closest friends would you confide
It's the way you say you'll be seeing me
Just like it's so, like it's so offhand

[Refrain]
Well, I guess soon
Soon you'll be leaving
Your man

[Verse 5]
You stare at me so boldly now
You have no lack of confidence
It's just those lessons on subtlety you missed
I know you dream of saving me
Like I'm some plane that you could land

[Refrain]
But when you fly
You will be leaving
Your man
