Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartaches
Seem 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
Every time I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
That pierces me right to the core
It says turn around, you fool
You know you love her more and more
Tell me why is it so?

Don't want to let you go
I never can say goodbye, girl
Ooh, ooh, baby, I never can say goodbye, no no no
I never can say goodbye, no no no.
Ooh, ow, I never can say goodbye, girl
Ooh, ooh, I never can say goodbye, no no no, ooh.

Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I never can say goodbye
I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's the same old dizzy hang-up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so?

Don't want to let you go
I never can say goodbye, girl
Ooh, ooh, baby, I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye, no no no.
Ooh, ow, I never can say goodbye, girl
Ooh, ooh, I never can say goodbye, no no no, ooh.
