Jim peterik / jeff jacobs
Some guys never gonna are you, ever gonna bet you're never gonna change
Just one thing to say to you-goodbye, goodbye
I had this letter written to you long ago but never sent it out
But I backed out
Why did it take so long for me to take the lead
And realize that you got nothing that I need
This message will be brief-there's nothing much to tell
My heart is signing off-direct from aol
So simple and elegant don't ever ask me why
I've got just one thing to say to you (goodbye)
You think that you're god's gift to life that we should fall
Right at your feet-i don't think so - no
And when you break a heart you toss it off and never miss a beat
But now the tables turn-i won't be hurt again
Does it feel backwards to be on the losing end?
This message will be brief-there's nothing much to tell
My heart is signing off-direct from aol
So simple and elegant don't ever ask me why
I've got just one thing to say to you (goodbye)
Some guys never gonna are you, ever gonna bet you're never gonna change
I'm through cryin' for you, no more lyin' for you
Won't be caught up in your game
Don't really feel the need to argue this and that
Your time is up-so glad we had this little chat
This message will be brief-there's nothing much to tell
My heart is signing off-direct from aol
So simple and elegant don't ever ask me why
I've got just one thing to say to you (goodbye)
How shall I put this?
I've got just the thing to say to you-goodbye
Just one thing to say to youЎ-goodbye, goodbyeЎ
Some guys never gonna are you, ever gonna bet you're never gonna change
