Finders keepers losers weep
Down on 42nd Street
Oh, bare-foot children cryin´ my-oh-my
I watched you on the avenue
While other men were having you
I think that you should let your caged bird fly

And kiss your past good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye, yeah
Kiss your past good-bye

I´ve been so lost I must confess
I´ve had my share of loneliness
But yeah it´s hard to keep a good man down
The loves you lost were all in vain
The past lives on inside your brain
I don´t think you need those memories
Hangin´ ´round, yeah

Good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
You´ve gotta let it fly
Kiss your past good-bye, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Kiss your past good-bye
Oooh, kiss your past good-bye

And if that bird don´t fly away
There´s just one thing I got to say

It´s later than a deuce a ticks
Your broken heart, it needs a fix
You´re feedin´ off a high that would not last
And people they don´t seem to care
And sorry just don´t cut it, yeah
It seems to me you´re gettin´ nowhere fast

So... Kiss... your... past

Or kiss your ass good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
There´s no more tears to cry, yeah
So kiss your past good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
Or kiss your ass good-bye, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
