It
Bee Gees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just the way that I feel about tomorrow
I'll be sad and alone all the time
It's just the way that you said you don't love me anymore, then 'Goodbye'
I can't believe what you're saying
You don't love me anymore, 'Goodbye'

Just the way that I feel about tomorrow
Knowing you won't be there by my side
I wish that I could say to you: well, can't we just be good friends?
Would you leave the door open, let me walk in again?





That's the way I been thinking 'bout tomorrow
I only know that friends can't be lovers again
