I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeh, 
The girl that's driving me mad is going away. 

She's got a ticket to ride, she's got a ticket to ride, 
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care! 

She said that living with me was bringing her down, yeh, 
For she would never be free when I was around. 

I don't know why she's ridin' so high, 
She oughtta think twice, she oughtta do right by me, 
Before she gets to sayin' goodbye, 
She oughtta think twice, she oughtta do right by me.
