Bye Bye Love
Ray Charles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I think I'm gonna die

There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy and I'm so blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry

I'm through with romance
I'm through with love
I'm through with countin' the stars above
And that's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I think I'm gonna die

I think I'm gonna die
I think I'm gonna die
I think I'm gonna die

I think I'm gonna die




I think I'm gonna die
I think I'm gonna die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ray Charles's song Bye Bye Love reflect the pain and heartbreak caused by a breakup. As the title suggests, the song is about saying goodbye to love and happiness, and being left with loneliness and emptiness. The first verse conveys the sadness of the breakup, and the singer feels so overwhelmed that he thinks he's going to cry. The second verse shows the contrast between the singer's state of mind and the happiness of his former partner who has moved on with someone else. The realization that their relationship is over and that he has lost his chance at love and romance is devastating for the singer. The last verse reveals that the singer is now done with love and is embracing his newfound freedom, but the pain of the breakup still lingers.

I Provide Lyrics

[Chorus]
Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm going to cry
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I think I'm going to die

[Verse 1]
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy and I'm so blue
She was my baby 'til he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Oh, whoa, oh

[Chorus]
Bye bye love (Well)
Bye bye happiness (What you say?)
Hello loneliness
I think I'm going to cry

[Verse 2]
I'm through with romance, I'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And that's the reason that I'm so free
My loving baby is through with me
Oh...

[Chorus]
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I think I'm going to die

[Outro, Ray and Chorus]
Yeah (I think I'm going to die)
Well (I think I'm going to die)
Well (I think I'm going to die)
What you say? (I think I'm going to die)
One more time (I think I'm going to die)
Yeah (I think I'm going to die)
Repeat that please (I think I'm going to die)
