The Goodbye Girl Lyrics

I put down the phone
And feel more alone
Than I did before it rang
And you were there (Yeah Yeah)
I go back to bed
And those things you said
Run around inside my head
And I can't sleep (Oh No)

Chorus:
Don't say goodbye to the Goodbye Girl
Just say see you soon
I say goodbye to the Goodbye Girl
And it's our nineteenth honeymoon
So I'm late for work
And you're such a jerk
But I can't stay mad
'Cause you're so far away (Hey Hey)
So I'm home again
I'm alone again
But I only feel
Remotely in control (Whoa Whoa)
I don't even know her name
Don't know when I'll get a
Chance to talk to her again
Chorus:
Don't say goodbye to the Goodbye Girl
Just say see you soon
I say goodbye to the Goodbye Girl
And it's our nineteenth honeymoon
Pay telephone from a twilight zone
And I'm hanging on the line
I fell in love with the Goodbye Girl
Now I'll never say goodbye
(hey hey)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
