[Verse 1]
There ain't no reason for us sitting down
To try to talk our problem out
'Cause we know the truth, it ain't no use
Each other we must do without
There ain't no reason trying to force a smile
When pain is really in its place
'Cause we know the truth, it ain't no use
Let's part before we lose love's trace
[Chorus]
(we've got to say)
Whoa oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
As I look back I'm really trying to see
Just what it was that made us spark
'Cause the fire's out, it leaves no doubt
The flame's not burning in our hearts
We still are young and both of us have time
To find our winter love in spring
Yes, we know the truth, it ain't no use
We're not each other's everything
[Chorus]
(So we might say bye)
Whoa oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh, yeah
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
(Hate we'll say goodbye)
Whoa oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh, yeah
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
(while they say goodbye)
Whoa oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Baby girl, lady, yeah yeah yeah
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
I tried out here to make it work
But it seems that they can't get it together, yeah
(bye bye bye)
Oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Seems we can start over and build it...
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Yeah, yeah, yeah wonderful baby, baby, baby
(bye bye bye bye bye)
Don't go, take me baby, don't go baby
(bye bye bye bye bye)
Ain't no use 'cause we done run out of juice
Whoa oh oh oh oh
So long baby, bye bye baby
There ain't no reason for us sitting down
To try to talk our problem out
'Cause we know the truth, it ain't no use
Each other we must do without
There ain't no reason trying to force a smile
When pain is really in its place
'Cause we know the truth, it ain't no use
Let's part before we lose love's trace
[Chorus]
(we've got to say)
Whoa oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh
(bye bye, bye bye bye)
Whoa oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
