Don't Say No
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics

Sometimes at night I don't know why
Engelbert is bewildered about his feelings and thoughts that emerge at night.

I get the feeling that I wanna say goodbye
He is experiencing an urge to end the relationship.

I can see me packin' up a bag and walkin' out the door
He visualizes himself leaving this relationship.

I'm goin' back to live the life I used to live before
He wants to return to his previous way of living devoid of responsibilities.

Not takin' care of me or anybody else
He wants to be carefree without having any accountability.

But how could I ever word it in the note I'd have write?
He is struggling to find the appropriate way to convey his departure.

Oh, I don't know how to say goodbye
Saying goodbye seems difficult for Engelbert.

Next to the one whose heart I'd hate to have to break
He doesn't want to hurt her by revealing his actual feelings.

And I don't know how to say goodbye
He finds it challenging to bid a farewell.

Each time I hold her it's love all over
He feels immense love and affection for the lady.

I'll never learn how to live without her
Engelbert believes he can never lead a contented life without her.

She let me go with it meant happiness for me
He knows that she will release him to pursue personal happiness.

Maybe that's the reason why I find my tongue is tied
This could be the reason for his inability to speak up.

I love her so I wanna tell her now
Engelbert is in love with her and intends to reveal his love.

And I know she'll whisper in my ear a million reasons why
He is confident that she would give him numerous reasons to stay.

I don't know how to say goodbye
Engelbert still feels unable to say farewell.
