Lover Goodbye

When rain clouds roll
You’re gonna get thunder
When lightin’ flies
It’s gonna burn the sky
When lovers lie
You’re bound to lose your lady
That’s just why
I’m tellin’ you goodbye
Goodbye, lover goodbye
Well, goodbye, lover goodbye
I won’t be treated bad
No you can’t do that to me
You messed up what we had
And you’re still too blind to see
But I won’t be your love fool
When you play with me
You gotta play by the rules
Play by the rules
When rain clouds roll
You’re gonna get thunder
When lightin’ flies
It’s gonna burn the sky
When lovers lie
You’re bound to lose your lady
That’s just why
I’m tellin’ you goodbye
Goodbye, lover goodbye
Well, goodbye, lover goodbye
Goodbye lover
I’ll turn and walk away
And never look back at you
I keep walking ‘til that day
I find someone that’s true
‘Cause I won’t be your love fool
When you play with me
You gotta play by the rules
Play by the rules – yeah
When rain clouds roll
You’re gonna get thunder
When lightin’ flies
It’s gonna burn the sky
When lovers lie
You’re bound to lose your lady
That’s just why
I’m tellin’ you goodbye
Goodbye,
Lover goodbye
