Take off your coat pull up a chair
|
Sit next to me not over there
|
How about a drink what would you like
|
Would a scotch on the rocks be alright
|
Then as the lights invariably dim
|
I gently touch your thigh
|
And before you know it, Hello it's goodbye.
|
You tell me that you're not that type
|
And I'm not saying that you're not right
|
All that I'm asking is a chance
|
To do more with you than just holding hands
|
This is the story of my life
|
Every chance I get to try
|
Before you know it, Hello it's goodbye.
|
|
Now I'm not saying that I'm upset
|
But for all the pleasure that I can get
|
I might just as well go join a monastery
|
(just as well join a monastery)
|
|
I'm not saying that I'm upset
|
But for all the pleasure that I've been getting
|
I might just as well go join a monastery
|
(just as well join a monastery).
|
|
Sometimes I think I'm up against
|
Something that doesn't make much sense
|
Like when I'm with a girl like you
|
I'd do everything a man should do
|
Then when I feel the time is right
|
I say no need to be shy
|
And before you know it Hello it's goodbye
|
|

Hello, It's Goodbye
