[Verse 1]
I, I'm on my way
I'm going away, away to stay
Mister Cab Driver, take me to the train station
I already made my reservation
Stop here, I gotta phone my mother dear
Tell her about the lover that I, I have here
Oh, stop right here
[Verse 2]
Hello, mother, I'm calling from the station
I'm so hurt and in a bad situation
I've lost a love I thought was true
That's why I'm calling you
The conductor is coming, so don't you cry
Dry your eyes 'cause I, I've got to see that guy
Woo, bye-bye
[Bridge]
I wanna go to a far-off place
Where no one knows my face
I have to leave here today
So, Mister Engineer, be on your way
Oh, just stop right here
(Woo woo, stop right here)
Stop right here
(Woo woo, stop right here)
Oh, I just got to say bye-bye
Yeah yeah, I got to say bye-bye
[Verse 3]
I wonder what's around the bend
Or will I ever find love again?
And if it's so, I wanna know
'Cause that's the place where I really wanna go
And if I get there, I'll forget about my tears
And tell the engineer, oh, to stop right here
[Outro]
Yeah, stop right here
And oh, I've got to say bye-bye
Ooh, stop right here
And oh, I've just got to forget about the weather
Yeah, I've got to get myself together
Oh, stop right here
I, I'm on my way
I'm going away, away to stay
Mister Cab Driver, take me to the train station
I already made my reservation
Stop here, I gotta phone my mother dear
Tell her about the lover that I, I have here
Oh, stop right here
[Verse 2]
Hello, mother, I'm calling from the station
I'm so hurt and in a bad situation
I've lost a love I thought was true
That's why I'm calling you

(Woo woo, stop right here)
Stop right here
(Woo woo, stop right here)
Oh, I just got to say bye-bye
Yeah yeah, I got to say bye-bye
