Robert Palmer
The Kiss-Off (Goodbye)
[Verse 1:]
Some guys never gonna
Are you ever gonna
Bet you're never gonna change
Just one thing to say to you
Goodbye
Goodbye
I had this letter written to you long ago
But never sent it out
I had my speech prepared
My kiss-off lines rehearsed
But I backed out
Why did it take so long
For me to take the lead
And realize that
You got nothing that I need
[Chorus:]
This message will be brief
There's nothing much to tell
My heart is signing off direct from AOL
So simple and elegant
Don't ever ask me why
I've got just one thing to say to you
(Goodbye)
[Verse 2:]
You think that you're God's gift to life
That we should fall
Right at your feet
I don't think so, no
And when you break a heart
You toss it off and never miss a beat
But now the tables turn
I won't be hurt again
Does it feel backwards to be on the losing end?
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
Some guys never gonna
Are you ever gonna
Bet you're never gonna change
I'm through crying for you
No more lying for you
Won't be caught up in your game
Don't really feel the need
To argue this and that
Your time is up
So glad we had this little chat
[Repeat Chorus:]
How shall I put this?
I've got just the thing to say to you
Goodbye
Just one thing to say to you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Some guys never gonna
Are you ever gonna
Bet you're never gonna change
