She heard the news and she wondered how anyone could run so far away from a good thing, she wanted him to stay But he was sneaky, he found another girl and now he's gone She heard it second-hand He's leaving off the land Bye-bye, Tinker, goodbye... She only wanted the truth, and nothing more But he left her hangin', yeah He left her hangin', yeah She's got the words to describe him, in her gossip column and he sure has it coming 'cause he found another girl and now he's gone But with the news that she's making, she'll find another boy before too long, after he's gone she'll laugh that she had cried a tear at all She hopes that he will stay on the coast of Monterey Bye-bye, Tinker, goodbye...(bye-bye)
