I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no
Tell me why (tell me why)
Is it so (is it so)

That I
Never can say goodbye (say goodbye)
No no no no, no
Never can say goodbye (say goodbye)

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right through the core
It says, "turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me why (tell me why)
Is it so (is it so)
Don't want to let you go

I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, ooh
I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, no

I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
There's that same unhappy feeling
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's the same old dizzy hang-up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why (tell me why)
Is it so (is it so)
Don't want to let you go

I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, ooh
I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, ooh yeah

I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, ooh
I never can say goodbye, boy
Yeah yeah yeah, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, oh oh
