Goodbye

Goodnight was just a little word you learned

Somewhere somebody that you burned

Was all too happy with a lie

But love, you know you never got it right

I don't know why you say goodnight

You only mean to say goodbye

And i know you quick to show your lover to the door

And you ain't never been in love before

You're only bound to get it wrong

And I know you're just a victim of your circumstance

I never know in any real romance

And so we ought to say so long, goodbye, so long

Goodbye

I know you're only trying to ease my mind

But I'm-a lay it on the line, this time

You only need to say goodbye

Oh, love, you know you never got it right

I don't know why you say goodnight

You only mean to say goodbye

You only mean to say goodbye

You only mean to say goodbye

You only mean to say goodbye
