Lyrics
If you leave me
I won’t miss you
And I won’t ever take you back
Girl, your memory
Won’t ever haunt me
‘Cause I don’t love you
And now if you’ll buy that
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch, you can see the sea
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
I don’t worship
The ground you walk on
I never have, and that’s a fact
I won’t follow or try to find you
‘Cause I don’t love you
Now if you’ll buy that
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch, you can see the sea
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch, you can see the sea
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
Yeah, if you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
