[Intro]
This is not a love song
Bye bye baby

[Verse 1]
I keep on waiting, anticipating
But I can't wait forever
To say you love me
You're thinking of me
But we're never together

[Chorus]
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
That's why we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
This time we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye

[Verse 2]
You had your chances
All your romances
And now I just don't want you
I know I love you because I hate you
And now I'd rather haunt you

[Chorus]
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
That's why we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
That's why we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye

[Verse 3]
You're so beautiful
What makes you feel exciting?
What wakes you up inside?
Does it make you feel good to see me cry?
I think it does
That's why it's time to say bye bye

[Chorus]
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
That's why we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
That's why we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye

[Bridge]
I don't wanna keep the bright flame
Of your ego going
So I'll just stop blowing in the wind
To love you is a sin
Adios

[Breakdown]
Come on, this is not a love song
What excites you? What turns you on?
What makes you feel good baby?
Does it make you feel good to see me cry?
I think it does
That's why it's time to say bye bye
Bye bye

[Outro]
The first time and the last time
You can forget about it baby
Forget the rules, forget the fools
Forget your fears, forget my tears
You can forget about it baby, bye bye baby bye bye
You can forget about it baby
'Cause it's the first time and the last time
You'll ever see me cry
