NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE

Never can say goodbye,
no no no no, I never can say goodbye.

Even tho' the pain and heartache seem to follow me where I go,
tho' I tried and tried 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?

But I never can say goodbye,
no no no no, I never can say goodbye.

Every time I think I've had enough and start heading for the door
there's very strange vibrations piercing 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 wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye, girl.
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye, girl.
No no no no no no,
I never can say goodbye, girl.
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye, girl,
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 are all gonna work out
but there's that same unhappy feelin', there's that anguish, there's that doubt.
It's that same old dizzy hang up, can't do with you or without.
Tell me why? Is it so?

Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye, girl.
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye, girl.
No no no no no no,
I never can say goodbye, girl.
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye, girl,
no no no no no no. (fade)
