After last night, I've got an achin' heart
We had such a fight that you drove home
There must be some good in bein' apart
'Cause there ain't no good in bein' alone

'Cause the pain won't let me sleep tonight
This can't go on, what's good about goodbye
Come on, baby, let's apologize

Ooh, let's apologize, ooh-ooh-ooh
Let's apologize, apologize
Ooh, let's apologize, ooh-ooh-ooh

I said some things I didn't mean
And you've said some things that hurt me too
Now this cold war is like a bad dream
Wish that I could wake up tomorrow with you

'Cause the pain is haunting me tonight
We share the pain, there is no wrong or right
I miss you so much
Why can't we forget our foolish pride
This can't go on, what's good about goodbye
Come on, let's apologize, let's apologize

Ooh, let's apologize, ooh-ooh-ooh
Let's apologize, apologize
Ooh, let's apologize, ooh-ooh-ooh

Babe, I wanna know what you've been thinkin'
I really wanna know (apologize)
Babe, I wanna know what you've been thinkin'

Oh-whoa...
Can't go on

And why can't we just say what's on our minds
This can't go on, what's good about goodbye
Come on, baby, let's apologize

And say what's on our minds
This can't go on, what's good about goodbye
Come on, baby, let's apologize

I can't go on, oh-oh-oh...
I miss you so much
Let's apologize

This can't go on, what's good about goodbye
I miss you so much, let's apologize

And say what's on our minds
This can't go on, what's good about goodbye
I miss you so much, let's apologize...
