Bye bye love Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry Bye bye love Bye bye sweet caress Hello emptiness I know I'm gonna die Goodbye my love bye bye There goes our lady With a "you know who" I hope she's happy And "old 'Clapper' too" We had good rhythm (and a little slide) Then she stepped in Did me a favour I threw them both out. (Hmm) goodbye happiness Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry Bye bye my love bye bye (Hmm) bye bye love (Hmm) It's gonna be a raining out of doors (Hmm) hello happiness (Hmm) Goodbye my love goodbye Now I'm into romance I shy away from love Got tired of ladies (ooh ooh) That plot and shove me And that's the reason We all can (see) so clearly They see that our lady Is out on a 'spree' Bye bye love Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness Think I'm gonna cry Bye bye love Bye bye happiness Hello emptiness
