I'll do my best to hide the pain an' turn an' walk away
But do me one last favor an' pretend you're hurtin' too
After all we've been through, it's the least that you can do

I don't know any reason we should let the whole town know
Which one of us came up with this plan for lettin' go
Try to leave me just a little pride to get me through
After all I gave you, it's the least that you can do

When you run into our old friends
Could you ask them how I've been?
An' maybe even muster up a teardrop now an' then
An' if they ask you how you're doin'
What's it really gonna hurt?
To tell a little lie an' do your best to look your worst

Keep my old love letters in the closet down the hall
An' leave at least one picture of me somewhere on the wall
Could you do your best impression of a sentimental fool?
After all it seems like it's the least that you can do

I know it won't be long 'til someone else is lovin' you
An' wakin' up in your arms just the way I used to
Promise me at least one time you'll call him by my name
When I'm with somebody new, I'll try to do the same

If someone ever asks you why we went our separate ways
We were just too much in love might be the thing to say
Or maybe you could tell them I was just too good for you
After all I gave you, it's the least that you can do

If the shoe were on the other foot, I'd do the same for you
After all we've been through, it's the least that you can do

I'll do my best to hide the pain an' turn an' walk away
But do me one last favor an' pretend you're hurtin' too
