Goodbye
You know I hate to leave you baby but I'm leavin' anyway --  So long
You knew I'd have to leave you baby when you treated me this way -- Don't cry
And if it's written for us baby maybe some old rainy day -- I'm gone
Perhaps you'll understand the reasons why you're drivin' me away -- Farewell
Then maybe we could be together in the same old crazy way -- Take Care

So long, Goodbye my darlin’ 
I know I was wrong when I thought that you could return the same love that I have all for you dear
But you still didn’t care enough to every try to love me
Why didn’t you love me, Why didn’t you ever love me
Maybe you’ll understand the reasons why you’re letting me go when oh I love you so

Gave you money, comfort too
loved you only, only you dear
But you didn't care a thing about me
All you wanted was to have your fun without me
Oh My darling, how could you hurt me so
Baby when all I did was love you
Oh, what a terrible, terrible feeling

Now baby I’m going away
Dry your eyes and don’t you cry because your tears won’t make me stay
I’m really quittin’ if its written that I’m splitting gonna start all over again and maybe then if its written and the lord above is willing
Maybe then you’ll understand the reasons 
And baby we’ll be together then, never to part again
I wanta love you put no one above you save all your loving till I come back again perhaps someday I really will come back, but until then

It’s over, it’s through, true our love affair is all over my little baby
Baby it’s all over with because you said you didn‘t want me 
Don’t you cry because it’s all over, dry your eyes baby look to the future
Baby it’s all over, yes it’s over, all over with, all over with, all over with, all over with 
Baby don’t you cry, can’t you see, I loved you, you never loved me
Honey Now Please

Oh Goodbye
You know I hate to leave you baby but I'm leavin' anyway -- So long 
You knew I'd have to leave you baby when you treated me this way -- Don't cry
And if it's written for us baby some old rainy day -- I'm gone
Perhaps you'll understand the reasons why you're drivin' me away -- Farewell
And maybe we can be togeth’ and we can be together in the same old way
