Lyrics
GOOD-BYE GIRL
VERSE
friends warned she moves
from one man to the next
like honey bees to flowers
somehow I thought
that I could change her ways
I knew I had the power
PRE-CHORUS
so I asked her out
we were lovers before long
then I woke to find
that note and she was gone
I learned
CHORUS
she's a GOOD-BYE GIRL
there's no changing her ways
she's a GOOD-BYE GIRL
she's not the kind who stays
she's not the kind who stays
VERSE
i should've known
when she stopped holding me close
and callin' me darlin'
or when she started
comin' in so late
and guys started callin'
PRE-CHORUS
it was all so clear
like the bright blue summer sky
i just turned my head
yeah and closed my eyes
oh
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
though it was like she stabbed my soul
i can sleep at night 'cause at least now i know
i know
REPEAT CHORUS
