never can say goodbye
Johnny "Hammond" Smith Lyrics

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now
I cannot bear to part ways, no matter how hard I try.

Even though the pain and heartache Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though my sorrow persists, it never leaves my side.

Though I try and try to hide my feelings They always seem to show,
I attempt to conceal my emotions, yet they are always on display.

Then you try to say you're leaving me And I always have to say no Tell me why is it so
When you try to depart, I always refuse. I wonder why this is so.

Every time I think I've had enough And start heading for the door
Whenever I reach my limit and begin to leave,

There's a very strange vibration Piercing me right through the core
An indescribable sensation that penetrates my being.

It says, turn around, you fool You know you love him more and more Tell me why is it so
It commands me to return and convinces me that I adore you even more. I ask why this is so.

Don't wanna let you go
I cannot bear to lose you.

I never can say goodbye girl
I cannot bring myself to say farewell to you, my beloved.

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
I cannot bear to lose you, no matter how hard I try to convince myself. My love for you remains steadfast.

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
I maintain hope that our troubles will soon be resolved, but pessimism and uncertainty continue to plague me.

It's the same old dizzy hangup Can't do with you or without Tell me why is it so
It's the same old dilemma: I can't decide if I can live with or without you. I ask why this is so.

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)
Despite my inner turmoil, I cannot bear to part ways with you. My love for you persists, and I cannot let you go.
