They always look better when they're leavin'

He said goodbye yesterday
I didn't sleep a wink all night
When he was here I took him for granted
And now he's gone and it serves me right

Chorus
Why do they always look better when they're leavin'
When just those mem'ries linger on
Why do I want 'em more when they're walkin' out the door
Why do they always look better when they're gone

Human nature can be strange
Why do I want what can't be mine
He never turned me on
Quite as much as when he turned to say goodbye

Chorus

............Instrumental........

Chorus

They always look better... He's lookin' better
They always look better when they're gone
