Isaac Hayes › Lyrics › Never Can Say Goodbye

I never can say goodbye
(No, no, no, no, I)
I never can say goodbye, no

Even though the pain and heartaches
Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
And then you try to say you're leavin' me
And I always have to say no, no
Tell me why is it so

But I never can say goodbye, no
(No, no, no, no, I)
I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough
And start headin' 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

I don't wanna let go
I can't say goodbye
Oh I, I'll never say goodbye
(Never gonna say goodbye, no matter how hard I try)

I never can say goodbye, no
(No, no, no, no, I)
I never can say goodbye

I keep thinkin' that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
Because 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

I don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye
Oh I, I'll never say goodbye
(Never gonna say goodbye, no matter how hard I try)
I'll never, I never gonna say goodbye, girl
(Never say goodbye)
Ooh baby, I'll never say goodbye
(Never gonna say goodbye, no matter how hard I try)

Don't wanna let you go
(Never gonna say goodbye)
I can't say goodbye
See I need you so

I'll never say goodbye
(Never gonna say goodbye, no matter how hard I try)
I'll never say goodbye
Ooh baby, I'll never say goodbye
(Never gonna say goodbye, no matter how hard I try)

They gonna let you go
(Never gonna say goodbye)
I can't say goodbye
I need you so, oh yeah
(Never gonna say goodbye, no matter how hard I try)

Take it out of my mind
(Never gonna say goodbye)
I can't say goodbye
I want you all the time

I can't say goodbye
(Never gonna say goodbye, no matter how hard I try)
You are my one and only lover
(Never gonna say goodbye)
I can't say goodbye
Don't wanna another
I can't say
