[Verse 1: JoJo]
I drive you out your mind, I told you this before
I made you my everything, baby
You still wanted more
And now you're feeling crazy, wanting just to let it go
Knowing we're the reason why, why we lose control
Always criticizing, I'm apologizing, now I"m realizing

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
I'm saying hello to goodbye
I don't wanna hurt no more
I'm saying hello to goodbye
'Cause it ain't gonna work no more (yeah yeah)
I'm saying hello to goodbye (goodbye)
'Cause we cried our very last cry
We could try for the very last, cry for the very last time
So I'm saying goodbye

[Verse 2: JoJo]
I appreciate what we have
But we went from good to worse, from better to bad
Said I'm tired of pointing fingers, it's nobody's fault
Love was leading the way, and somewhere we got lost
Always criticizing, I'm apologizing, now I'm realizing

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
I'm saying hello to goodbye
I don't wanna hurt no more (no more)
I'm saying hello to goodbye
'Cause it ain't gonna work no more (yeah yeah)
I'm saying hello to goodbye (goodbye)
'Cause we cried our very last cry
We could try for the very last, cry for the very last time
So I'm saying goodbye

[Bridge: K-Ci]
It's no more pretending (no more)
No fairytale ending (no more)
We gave it our best
(But our best wasn't good enough)
For love to keep us together (keep us together)
Forever and ever (forever and ever)

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
I'm saying hello to goodbye
I don't wanna hurt no more (no more)
I'm saying hello to goodbye
'Cause it ain't gonna work no more (no more)
I'm saying hello to goodbye (goodbye)
'Cause we cried our very last cry
We could try for the very last, cry for the very last time
So I'm saying goodbye
I'm saying hello to goodbye
I don't wanna hurt no more (do you hear me?)
I'm saying hello to goodbye
'Cause it ain't gonna work no more (JoJo, say it again)
I'm saying hello to goodbye (goodbye)
'Cause we cried our very last cry
We could try for the very last, cry for the very last time
So I'm saying goodbye

[Outro]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And so I say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And so I say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
