Bye Bye Little Girl
Perry Como · Other Songs - Perry Como
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye . . .
I want a love that's sweet an' good,
A little bit more than I get from wood,
Bye bye ( bye, bye ) little girl ( bye, bye )
bye bye ( bye, bye, bye, bye ! )
Well you just can't be true to one,
An' I can't stand you bein' true to two!
I'll bet ya if you had three or four,
You'd be lookin' round for more an' more,
Bye bye ( bye, bye ) little girl ( bye, bye )
bye bye ( bye, bye, bye, bye ! )
I think I'll catch the next train outta town,
Someday you'll want me around . . .
Well you'll wind up with a broken heart,
Think of me when the tear drops start,
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!
Bye bye bye, little girl . . .
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!
I want a love that's sweet an' good,
A little bit more than I get from wood,
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!
Bye bye ( bye, bye ) little girl, bye bye!
Bye bye ( bye, bye ) little girl, bye bye!
