Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man Bright Eyes

He'd always get 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, "That could change"

I notice how you waste no time
Making your way across the room
You leave a wake of tongues
Still waving after you
And it isn't no coincidence
Where you finally choose to stand
I guess soon
You will be leaving your man

It's a sweet smile and then a denial
Hey, you are just trying to be nice
But there is a meaning
To every fleeting action you unconsciously decide
The clocks they chime
Now it's time

I know you try and play it cool
But there are some thoughts you just can't hide
Only in your closest friends do you confide
The way you say you'll be seeing me
Oh like it's so offhand
I guess soon
Soon you will be leaving your man
