Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And I know, you're 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, Lord
I know you're just a victim of your circumstance
I'm never knowing any real romance
And so we ought to say so long, bye bye, so long, goodbye
[Verse 3]
But love, you know you 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 need to say goodbye
[Verse 4]
You only need to say goodbye
