Never Can Say Goodbye (Original Version 1982)

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I
I never can 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 to 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?
Don't want to let you go

(I) hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh-ooh, baby (I)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, ooh-ooh, hey, I

I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh-ooh, baby (I)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no (no)
No, no, no (no)
No, no, no (no, hey)

I never can say goodbye (I can never say goodbye, boy)
Oh, no, I
I never can say goodbye (I can never say goodbye, boy)

I keep thinking that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling, and that anguish and that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up, I can't do with you or without
Tell me, why (tell me, why) is it so?
I don't want to let you go

(I) hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh-ooh, baby (I)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no (no)
No, no, no (no)
No, no, no (no, ooh)

(I) hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh-ooh, baby (I)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no (no, no, no)
No, no, no
No, no, no (no, no, no)

(I) I never can say goodbye, boy

Whoo-hoo-hoo, hey
I never can say goodbye, boy
No, no, no, baby (hey), I
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no (no, no, no)
No, no, no (please don't let me say goodbye)
No, no, no (uh, uh)

I never can say goodbye, boy (I just cannot say goodbye)
(Oh, baby, hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye (oh, please don't leave me now)
No, no, no
