Goodbye Love

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

I better go

When it happens everyday, you know

You can't try and live on a diet

Of pain and harsh words



Love's not a trial

Ending in a walk down the aisle

You can't ever twist the hands,

I don't care what you've heard



You made it seem so simple

You made it easy to live

But how could I know that purring in my bed

Was a kitten with a whip



Goodbye love - it's way past the moment

Goodbye love - stop trying

Goodbye love - can't drive it to the dead end

Fate will never unbend - goodbye love



Now I understand

When the money runs through my hands

I'll find myself all alone at the zero hour



Making love was so easy

Wearing diamonds and gold

How could I know that perched in my bed

Was a kitten with a whip



Goodbye love - it's way past the moment

Goodbye love - stop trying

Goodbye love - can't drive it to the dead end

Fate will never unbend - goodbye love



And when I turn off the lights

That's when it hits the hardest

My resolution starts slipping away

And my conviction just falls from the hip



Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye love
