Goodbye (US Version)

Dusty Springfield · Other Songs - Dusty Springfield

Goodbye, bye, bye, bye

Is all he said to me

Goodbye, bye, bye, bye

Is all he said to me

I should have known

When I looked into his eyes

He wasn't serious

I should have seen through his disguise

He led me to believe

That he would never leave

And I thought that I blew his mind

He said goodbye, bye, bye, bye

Is all he said to me

Bye, bye, bye, bye

Is all he said to me

I sure get discouraged

When I think of what a fool I've been

I don't know where he's at

And I don't know where he's been

So how can he leave me?

Hurt and deceive me

When I make a mistake

This is all he had to kept on saying

Goodbye, bye, bye, bye

Is all he said to me

Goodbye, bye, bye, bye

Is all he said to me, mmm

So how can he leave me?

Hurt and deceive me

When I make a mistake

This is all he had to kept on saying

Goodbye, ye, ye, ye

Is all he said to me

Goodbye, bye, bye, bye

Is all he said to me, yeah, ooh, ooh

Goodbye, bye, goodbye, bye

I said goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
