[Verse 1]
Could it be that I can't stand to be alone
This long distance has us livin' on the phone
Ever since you've been away
I just can't get thru a day
Girl I just can't wait to have you here at home (oh baby)

[Hook]
Everytime, we say goodbye boo, oh baby
I, don't want you to go (oh yeah)
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I only get to see you for a day
If that's all I can get then that's what I'll take
Soon I know the day will come
That you and I will be as one
But right now the thing gets so hard to say

[Hook]
Everytime, we say goodbye boo (everytime baby)
I, don't want you to go (don't want you to go)
Everytime, we say goodbye boo, (we say goodbye baby)
I, don't want you to go (ooh ooh)

Everytime, we say goodbye boo (we say goodbye)
I, don't want you to go (don't want you to go)
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go (don't want you to go)

Hey, hey
'Til we make love just one more time
Make it seem forever
This is our last and final goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Don't want you to go

[Hook]
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go
Everytime, we say goodbye boo
I, don't want you to go
(Repeat until fade)

He is one of the very few leggiero tenors in the pop genre. McKnight is perhaps most recognized for his strong falsetto and belting range.
