[Intro]
(Oh, teach me, teach me
How to say good-bye
Oh, baby)

[Verse 1]
Mm, you gave me your tender caress (Oh, baby)
Mm-mm-hmm-mm, you brought me my happiness
You taught me how to love
Oh, you taught me how to cry
Now, won't you teach me how to say-ay-ay-ay
Teach me how to say goodbye-eye-eye, eye-eye-eye, eye-eye-eye? (Oh, baby)

[Verse 2]
Mm-mm, you gave me the thrill of a kiss (Oh, baby)
What can I do now with memories like this?
'Cause you taught me how to love
Oh-oh, you taught me how to cry
Now, won't you teach me how to say-ay-ay-ay-ay
Teach me how to say goodbye-eye?

[Bridge]
Go on, go on
Ah, you want to, I know, whoa-whoa
But I ask of you
So, tell, tell me true now
This one thing before you go, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 3]
You let me love you, won't you tell me why? (Oh, baby)
And I always will now til, 'til I die (Oh, baby)
'Cause you taught me how to love
Oh, you taught me how to cry
Now, won't you teach me how to say-ay-ay-ay-ay
C'mon, teach me how to say goodbye-eye-eye-eye

[Outro]
You taught me how to love and cry
Now, teach me how to say goodbye
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
To say goodbye
Teach me
