Lover Goodbye

When main clouds roll you gotta 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 lovefool when you play with me
You gotta play by the rules play by the rules
When main clouds roll you gotta get thunder...
[ guitar ] Goodbye lover uh
I turn and walk away and never look back at you
I'll keep walkin' till that day I find someone that's true
Cause I won't be your lovefool when you play with me
You gotta play by the rules play by the rules yeah
When main clouds roll you gotta get thunder...
Well goodbye lover goodbye well goodbye lover goodbye...
