Gladys Knight, born on May 28, 1944, developed her singing style while singing with her family at Baptist church functions. Though the group first released recordings in 1958, their career really got started when Motown founder Berry Gordy witnessed them perform at Harlem’s Apollo Theater in 1966 and felt very impressed. With a career following spanning decade after decade, featuring many hits, the group has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics
It's sad to think
We're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
For some ungodly reason
Just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
I keep wondering
What I'm gonna do without you?
And I guess you must be
Wondering the same thing too
So we go on
Go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
Every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say, I'm leaving
Memories, those old memories
Get in my way
Lord knows it's only me
Only know it's only me that I'm deceiving
When it comes to saying goodbye
That a simple word that I just cannot say
There can be no way, there can be no way
This can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Farewell my love
Goodbye

It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
For some ungodly reason
We just won't let it die (Let it die)
I guess neither one of us (Neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
I keep wondering (Wondering)
What I'm gonna do without you (Do without you)
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on
Go on together
Living a lie (Living a lie)
Because neither one of us (Neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
Everytime I find the nerve
Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving (Leaving)
Old memories, those old memories get in my way (My way, my way)
Lord knows it's only me
Oh He knows it's only me
That I'm decieving
When it comes to saying goodbye
That's a simple word that I just cannot say
There can be no way
There can be no way (Be no way)
This can't have a happy ending (Happy ending)
No, no
So we just go on (We go on)
Hurting and pretending
Convincing ourselves to give it just one more try (One more try)
Because neither one of us (Neither one of us) wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us (Neither one of us) wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us (Neither one of us) wants to be the first to say
Farewell, my love
Goodbye (Goodbye)
