Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't say
It never could, never would, never will, no can do
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no can do
Don't say
It never could, never would, never will, no can do
Don't say
It never could, never would, never will, no can do
[Verse 2]
I never can say goodbye
No, I never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache seem to follow me wherever I go
And though I try to hide my feelings, they always seem to show
[Verse 3]
Then you try to say you're leavin' me
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so?
[Verse 4]
I never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough and start headin' for the door
There's a very strange vibration piercin' me right through the core
[Verse 5]
It says, "Turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me why is it so? (You can't let him go)
[Verse 6]
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no-no-no, no-no-no, ooh, yeah
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no-no-no, no-no-no, ooh
[Verse 7]
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no can do
Don't say it
Never could, never would
[Verse 8]
Never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
There's the same unhappy feeling, there's that aguish, there's that doubt
[Verse 9]
It's that same old dizzy hang up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so? (You can't let him go)
[Verse 10]
(Don't say it) I never can say goodbye, boy
(Don't say it) I never can say goodbye, no-no-no, no-no-no, ooh
(Don't say it) I never can say goodbye, boy
(Don't say it) I never can say goodbye, no-no-no, no-no-no, ooh
(Don't say it) I never can say goodbye, boy
(Don't say it) I never can say goodbye, no-no-no, no-no-no, ooh
[Verse 11]
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no can do
Don't say it
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no can do
Don't say it
