Lyrics

Making Plans

[Verse 1] You say tomorrow you're going That's so hard for me to believe I'm making plans for the heartaches 'Cause you're making plans to leave [Verse 2] The tears for me will be falling Like a tree shedding its leaves I'm making plans for the teardrops 'Cause you're making plans to leave [Bridge] You're making plans to forget me I'm making plans to miss you I'm getting ready to grieve I'm making plans to be lonesome 'Cause you're making plans to leave [Outro] I'm making plans to be lonesome 'Cause you're making plans to leave I'm making plans to be lonesome 'Cause you're making plans to leave
