[Verse 1]
What's so good about goodbye?
All it does is make-a you cry
Well, if leaving causes grieving
Goodbye can break your heart
So tell me (what's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?
[Verse 2]
Since you said goodbye to me
All I've known is misery
But everything goes wrong
And lovers say so long
Then tell me (what's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?
[Bridge]
How can goodbye be good to a lover who really cares?
And another thing I'd like to clarify
How can farewell be fair?
{Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
How can goodbye be good to a lover who really cares?
And another thing I'd like to clarify
How can farewell be fair?
[Verse 3}
Won't you please tell me why
You and I could never say this is goodbye
Girl, when it makes me so sad until it's got to be bad
(What's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?
What's so good about goodbye?
Baby
What's so good about goodbye?
What's so good about goodbye?
All it does is make-a you cry
Well, if leaving causes grieving
Goodbye can break your heart
So tell me (what's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?
[Verse 2]
Since you said goodbye to me
All I've known is misery
But everything goes wrong
And lovers say so long
Then tell me (what's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?
