Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Never can say goodbye (never can say goodbye, girl)
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye (never can say goodbye, girl)

Even though the pain and heartache seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings, they always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leavin' me and I always have to say no
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so (is it so)

That I never can say goodbye (never can say goodbye, girl)
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye (never can say goodbye, girl)

Every time I think I've had enough, I start headin' for the door
There's a very strange vibration piercin' me right to the core
It says: Turn around, you fool, you know you love her more and more
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so (is it so)
Don't wanna let you go

I never can say goodbye, girl (never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh-ooh, baby (don't wanna let you go, girl)
I never can say goodbye
No-no-no, no-no-no (no-no-no), ooh, oh
I never can say goodbye, girl (never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh-ooh (don't wanna let you go, girl)
Ooh-ooh, I never can say goodbye
No-no-no, no-no-no (no-no-no), ooh

Never can say goodbye (never can say goodbye, girl)
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye (never can say goodbye, girl)

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

I never can say goodbye, girl (never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh-ooh, baby (baby)
I never can say goodbye
No-no-no, no-no-no (no-no-no), ooh, oh
I never can say goodbye, girl (never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh-oh (hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye
No-no-no, no-no-no (no-no-no), ooh, ow, girl

I never can say goodbye, girl (never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh-ooh, baby (hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye
No-no-no, no-no-no (no-no-no), ooh-ooh
I never can say goodbye, girl (never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh, now, ha (hey, baby)
