Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no
Tell me why
Is it so
That I
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye
Everytime I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercin me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more
Tell me why
(Tell me why)
Is it so
(Is it so)
Don't wanna let you go!
I can never can say goodbye girl
(Never can say goodbye girl)
Uh, uh, baby
(Don't wanna let you go girl)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Ou! Oh!
I never can say goodbye, girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Uuh, uuh
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and there's that anguish
There's that
Doubt
It's the same old dizzy hangup
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let you go
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
