What Do You Mean When You Say Goodbye

(Tom T. Hall)



(What do you mean, what do you mean, what do you mean?)



What do you mean when you say goodbye

You're back again and I don't know why

I thought goodbye meant that we'd let it die

What do you mean when you say goodbye?



I understood all of your little lies

I tried to make something out of my life

You're back again and I'm so surprised

What do you mean when you say goodbye?



They all tell me that love is a game

I say well now what's her name

Let's call it something it makes me cry

What do you mean when you say goodbye?



I understood all of your little lies

I tried to make something out of my life

You're back again and I'm so surprised

What do you mean when you say goodbye?



Next time you'll leave then we'll both know

You can't come back here anymore

Don't come smiling I know that disguise

What do you mean when you say goodbye?



I understood all of your little lies

I tried to make something out of my life

You're back again and I'm so surprised

What do you mean when you say goodbye?
