The Jackson 5
Never Can Say Goodbye (Alternate Version)
[Intro: The Jackson 5]
Woo-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)

[Bridge: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though 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 have to say no
Tell me why (Tell me why) is it so (is it so) that I

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
[Bridge: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says "Turn around, you fool
You know you'll love her more and more"
Tell me why (Tell me why) is it so (is it so)
Don't wanna let you go

[Refrain: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
I never can say goodbye, girl
(I never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh, ooh, baby (Hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye
(No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)
I got to have you, I never can say goodbye, girl
(I never can say goodbye, girl)
No, no, no (Hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye
(No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no)

[Outro: Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Never could say goodbye
We're singing goodbye
We're singing goodbye
I never can say goodbye, girl
I'm never gonna say goodbye, baby
I got to have you, I never can say goodbye, ah yeah
I'll never, never, never, never
I never can say goodbye, girl
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
I got to have you, I never can say goodbye, ah yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no (Oh, you, you, you)
I never can say goodbye, girl
I'm never gonna say goodbye, baby
I never could say goodbye, ah yeah
I'm never gonna say...
