Good Bye, Mr. Jones
by Karen Lawrence and Fred Hostetler
Date 6/92

I’m not gonna call you to come out and play
And I refuse to think of you every hour of the day
And I’m not waitin’ here wishin’ my nights away
That’s all in the past and in the past you’ll stay
I used to sit around and sing the blues
But I finally kicked the habit of lovin’you

My friends used to tell me I should get out and do
The kind of things the other lonely hearts do
But I was stuck on you and couldn’t see
Just how bad that Jones had had a hold on me
I used to sit around and sing the blues
But I finally kicked the habit of lovin’you

BRIDGE: I kicked the habit and it wasn’t that hard
                 I just remind myself what a louse you are
                 I put your potion way back on the shelf
                And got a healthy dose of love from someone else

I won’t be comin’ round here anymore
And I don’t wanna see you ‘round my back door
I used to sit around and sing the same old tune
But I finally kicked the habit of lovin’you

So now it's good-bye mister
Good-bye Mr. Jones
I won't see ya no more
Good-bye mister
Good-Bye Mr. Jones!
