*NSYNC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey
Bye bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

I'm doing this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye

(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye

You just hit me with the truth
Now girl you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I've lived for you and me
And now I really come to see
That life would be much better once you're gone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye

(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye

I'm giving up I know for sure
I don't' want to be the reason for your love no more
Bye bye
I'm checking out, I'm signing off
I don't want to be the loser, and I've had enough

I don't want to be your fool in this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind
(Bye bye bye)
I don't want to make it tough
(Make it tough)
But I've had enough
And it ain't no lie

(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
I don't want to be your fool
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough




It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Bye bye

Overall Meaning

"Bye Bye Bye" is a song by the American boy band *NSYNC, released on January 11, 2000, as the lead single from their third studio album "No Strings Attached." The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze, and the lyrics were primarily about a man breaking up with his partner. The song became a massive hit and peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts, number 2 in Australia and the UK, and number 12 in Germany.


The first verse of the song implies that the singer in the song is doing something that he knows will start a fight, and that he knows deep down it isn't right. He has loved his partner unconditionally, but now that she's not there for him, it's time to leave and make it on his own. The chorus repeats the line "Bye Bye Bye" and shows the singer's determination to leave the relationship because he simply cannot take it anymore. The second verse explains that he doesn't want to be his partner's fool anymore and leave the toxic game for two. After the bridge, the chorus is repeated once more, and finally, the song ends with the same "Bye Bye Bye" phrase.
