Goodbye Girl

Squeeze · Gold [2005]

I met her in a pool room

Her name I didn't catch

She looked like something special

The kind who'd understand

The room was almost spinning

She pulled another smile

She had the grace like pleasure

She had a certain style



Sunlight on the lino

Woke me with a shake

I looked around to find her

But she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl



She took me to her motel

A room on the second floor

A kettle and two coffees

A number on the door

She said I hardly know you

Agreed we kissed goodnight

I knew that in the morning

Somehow I'd wake to find



Sunlight on the lino

Waking me with a shake

I looked around to find her

But she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl



I've lost my silver bracelet

My club room locker keys

The money in the billfold

It doesn't bother me

My wife has moved to boston

Some Mug is not the word

If you ever see her

Say hello goodbye girl



Sunlight on the lino

Woke me with a shake

I looked around to find her

But she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl
