Oh, I never can say goodbye
No, I never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartaches
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Thought I tried and tried to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always had to say no
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so?

No, I never can say goodbye
Oh oh, never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
And start headed for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says, "turn around, you fool
You know you love him more and more and more and more
(Tell me why) is it so?
I can't let you go

Never can say goodbye
I just can't let you go
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, oh baby
Never can say goodbye
I just can't say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye) ooh
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no I
Never can say goodbye

I know all our problems
Sooner all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's the same old dizzy hang-up
Can't live with him, can't live without
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so?
Don't wanna let you go

I never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye, no no no
No no no, no-no-no, oh baby
I never can say goodbye
Never can say goodbye
