(Sniff. It’s ok, really. I think I will be alright. Have fun. Be safe. Try not to feel too wracked with guilt over leaving us all in the lurch like this. Sniff. The lyrics are from “Please Don’t Go,” a song recorded and released in 1979 on the KC and the Sunshine Band album Do You Wanna Go Party, as found on the genius (dot) com website. Sniff snuffle snort.)
