never can say goodbye
Countdown Mix Masters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache
Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show,
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so
That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now
Never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right through the core
It says, turn around, you fool
You know you love him more and more
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go
I 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
Ooh, oh I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh ooh ooh (don't wanna let you go girl)
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no, ooh
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now
Never can say goodbye
I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's the same old dizzy hangup
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh ooh baby (hey baby)
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no
Ooh, oh I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh oh (hey baby)
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no, ooh
I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh ooh baby (hey baby)
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no
Ooh, oh I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh oh (hey baby)

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now
I always find it difficult to say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
I cannot bid farewell
Even though the pain and heartache / Seem to follow me wherever I go
Despite the pain and suffering that accompany me
Though I try and try to hide my feelings / They always seem to show
Although I attempt to conceal my emotions, they always become apparent
Then you try to say you're leaving me / And I always have to say no / Tell me why is it so
You always attempt to depart, but I always refuse. Why is it that way?
Every time I think I've had enough / And start heading for the door
Whenever I presume I've had enough and prepare to exit
There's a very strange vibration / Piercing me right through the core
A mysterious vibration penetrates me to the heart
It says, turn around, you fool / You know you love him more and more / Tell me why is it so
It instructs me to turn back towards you because I am in love with you. Why is it so?
Don't wanna let you go / I never can say goodbye girl

Oh, baby (I don't want you to depart, girl). I never say farewell, no no no.
I keep thinking that our problems / Soon are all gonna work out
I hold the belief that our difficulties will be resolved shortly
But there's that same unhappy feeling / There's that anguish, there's that doubt
However, there is still that aching sensation, that sorrow, that qualm
It's the same old dizzy hangup / Can't do with you or without
It's the same old overwhelming issue; I neither can live with you nor survive without.
I never can say goodbye girl / Ooh ooh baby (hey baby) / I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no
I never bid you goodbye, girl. Oh, baby (hey, baby). I refuse to say goodbye, no no no.

Oh, I'll never bid farewell to you, girl. Oh, oh (hey, baby). Saying goodbye is not something I'll ever do, no no no.
I never can say goodbye girl / Ooh ooh baby (hey baby) / I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no
I never say farewell to you, girl. Oh, baby (hey, baby). It's not possible to say goodbye.
Ooh, oh I never can say goodbye girl / Ooh oh (hey baby)
Oh, I'll never bid farewell to you, girl. Oh, oh (hey, baby).
