Lyrics
Goodbye Love
Copyright ©1978 JJ Williams
It was late last night about midnight
Got a phone call from a stranger
Who said she/he was better than I was
And when you left, I couldn't blame ya.
{Bridge}
Saw you get into her/his car love
And I knew my heart was breakin'
Felt my knees grow weak and my mind went blank
And my body started shakin'
{Chorus}
If I could I wouldn't stop you love
If it's what you wanna' do
If it's what you wanna' do my love
Then see it through
So I waved goodbye and sat myself down
Started thinkin' about my life
Livin' alone just ain't my bag
Began wishin' I was a wife/wishin' I had a wife
And I glanced out the window hopin' to see
A star shining as bright as you
But all there was, was a clouded sky
And the drops from the evening dew
{Chorus}
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye love
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye love
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye love
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye love
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye love
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye love
