Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh do wee do wee
Shoo-boo-doo-doo-dwee-ay-dwee-ay
Bo-bo-do-do-de-do-ee
Shoo-boo-doo-dwee-do dwee do dwee
Yeah, yeah
I can't take this confusion
In this love illusion
'Cause baby, what I need is true
You got me in the middle
I can't solve this riddle
So baby, it's goodbye to you
Late night phone calls, occasional passion
Talking too much, not enough action
Cancelled dates, half-hearted invitations
It take some time, but now I learn my lesson
It's not about you (it's not about you)
It's about me (it's about me)
I gotta go (I gotta go)
I need to be free (I need to be free)
Too many lies (too many lies)
Not enough love (not enough love)
Saying goodbye (saying goodbye)
'Cause I had enough ('cause I had enough)
For far so long, I was feeling hopeless
But now I'm through, so I'm giving you some notice
No, it ain't your fault, it's just your nature
But it's not my job to try and re-arrange you
It's not about you (it's not about you)
It's about me (it's about me)
I gotta go (I gotta go)
I need to be free (I need to be free)
Too many lies (too many lies)
Not enough love (not enough love)
Saying goodbye (saying goodbye)
'Cause I had enough ('cause I had enough)
Oh, it's goodbye, baby, it's goodbye
Baby, yeah, yeah
I don't need you no more
Your lies
And I can leave (it's good)
I don't need to put up with this stuff no more
It's goodbye oh
All I'm asking is for the truth
Got me in the middle, I don't wanna solve it, no
Goodbye, so long, baby
