Bye Bye Bye
Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox feat. Tara Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I had enough
It might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Just hit me with the truth
Now, boy you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I live for you and me
But now I really come to see
That life would be much better once you're gone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby Bye, bye, bye...
Don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I had enough
It might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
I'm giving up I know for sure
I don't wanna be the reason for your love no more
I'm checking out
I'm signing off
I don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough
I don't wanna be your fool
In this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind
I don't wanna make it tough
But I had enough
Bye bye,
Bye bye,
Bye bye...
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye, bye, bye...
Don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I had enough
It might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Bye, bye, bye, bye bye bye bye bye
Ooooh ooooh oh ooh
You may hate me
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye, bye, bye...
Ohh bye, bye, bye, bye...
Bye, bye, bye...
Yeah
Ain't no lie
Baby bye, bye, bye...
The lyrics of "Bye, Bye, Bye" by Postmodern Jukebox (feat. Tara Louise) express a love gone sour, as the singer is taking the decision to leave her unfaithful partner after enduring his mistreatment. She knows that this decision will lead to a confrontation and possibly a fight, but she is convinced it is the only way to regain control of her life. The opening lyrics describe her feeling of insecurity and dread at the idea of leaving, but also her resolve to do it anyway. She loved him endlessly, but he failed to reciprocate when she needed him, and she decided to let him go and make a new start on her own.
The chorus expresses her deep-seated frustration and anger at their broken relationship. She no longer wants to be a "fool" or "player" in his game for two, and she is ready to say goodbye for good. She repeats the tantalizing refrain of "bye, bye, bye," stressing her insistence that he has played with her emotions for too long, and she is finally fed up with it. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer pleading for one good reason to stay with him, but ultimately realizing that life would be better once he is out of the picture. The bridge repeats the chorus with added emphasis, as the singer states that she is done with the relationship, and that she wants him out of her life for good.
