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 [x4]
|

Goodbye
