Girl, You Sure Know How to Say Goodbye

(Tom T. Hall)



You kissed me and you said I was a gentleman to you

You said I was a person you could trust

You told me that you loved me, aw, in a way couldn't I

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.



You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye

I stood and watched you walk away, you know honey, I didn't even cry

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.



--- Instrumental ---



You gave me that old pep talk as you cried on my sleeve

You said that you'd come runnin' day or night

You said that I could call on you throughout my lonely life

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.



You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right

You hypnotised the hurt right out of me

I stood and watched you walk away, ah honey, and I couldn't even cry

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye...
