If you want to leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go darling
Maybe it's better that way
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door
Yea see if I care
Go on and go now but

Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking

Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
I won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
If you ever think about me
Just know that I'll be alright
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
I know I'll survive
Sure I'll make it through
And I'll even learn to live without you

Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

I wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
I wish I could say to you
Don't go

As he walks away he feels the pain
Getting strong
People in your life they don't know what's
Going on
Too proud to turn around he's gone

Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

    General Comment:I agree the 2nd line is "I wont beg you to stay"
    this is an old Neil Diamond song. The Sign came out here in the fall of 1993, I was a bartender in a club and I loved them right away, I still love them and play them every day even right now (WOF) and this is 2007!

    General Comment:Well, I don't mind it, but I'm not that into them any more. It was a good album though. I gave it to a friend a few years ago.

    General Comment:for any haters, Ace of Base laid down some hot grooves back in the day...and The Sign is a solid album start to finish -- hooky enough to entertain a 12 year old, and lyrically resonant to the 18-25 bracket. Anyone who was in 4th-8th grade when this came out and isn't still into it is about 10 years older than they think they are -- or ought to be!!!

    General Comment:2nd grade? God you must be young... well.... Not that I'm THAT much older... I think I was in 6th or 7th when this song came out... It's strange that even after all these years, I count this song as one of my favorites.... It's not really that good honestly... there's just something about it... Reminds me of the old days... This song helped me cope with a lot of harsh shit that the kids at my school put me through... ::shrug::
