Lyrics
The reasons why
Oh I can say
I have to let you go, babe
And right away
After what you did
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Baby for a long time
You had me believe
That your love was all mine
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know
That you were putting me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Up when you're gone
Now I've got to say
That it's not like before
And I'm not going to play
Your games anymore
After what you did
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Up when you're gone
Up when you're gone
Up when you're gone
Oh I can say
I have to let you go, babe
And right away
After what you did
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Baby for a long time
You had me believe
That your love was all mine
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know
That you were putting me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Up when you're gone
Now I've got to say
That it's not like before
And I'm not going to play
Your games anymore
After what you did
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Up when you're gone
Up when you're gone
Up when you're gone

The Byrds were the first electric champions of Bob Dylan's songs. Dylan in turn praised the exotic balladry of main writing Byrd Gene Clark. "I remember him saying, 'Gene is really interesting to me,' " said bassist Chris Hillman. Clark's articulate melancholy and beguiling melodies were on blazing display here, draped in Roger McGuinn's twelve-string jangle.
