Lyrics
MEAL OF IT
Words and Music by Laurence Conway

Verse 1:
Don't you get me wrong
I really will feel less than ecstatic
If you say, "so long"
You might think I'll weep and wail but I won't
Chorus (twice):
I'm never ever gonna make a MEAL OF IT
I'm never ever gonna make a MEAL OF IT
I'm never ever gonna make a MEAL OF IT
I'm never ever gonna make a MEAL OF IT
Bridge:
Though it might surprise you
I'm sure that I'll survive here without you
I don't want you to leave me, honey
But baby if you do
Oh, no, I won't stay lonely
I won't make a meal of bein' left
Oh, no, I won't stay lonely
Oh, no, I won't
Verse 2:
You might think me cold
But life is too short to drown in self-pity
I'll just be so glad
For what we had, say goodbye, then move on
Repeat Chorus (twice again) and Bridge:
Verse 3:
It's the same for you:
If one day I think that we oughta part, dear
If you find someone without delay
I'll be pleased you moved on
Repeat Chorus (twice again)
[Horns Break]
Repeat Chorus (twice again)
[Repeat Horns Break as ending]
