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.
