[Intro]
People in love are funny
Mighty hard to explain
One minute they quarrel
Then they’re back together again
Take my case for instance
We had a little fuss
Listen, ladies and gentlemen
Here’s what happened to us

[Verse 1]
We thought that love was over
That we were really through
I said I didn't love him
That we'd begin anew
And you can all believe mе
We sure intendеd to
But we just couldn't say goodbye

[Verse 2]
The chair and then the sofa
They broke right down and cried
The curtains started waving
For me to come inside
I tell you confidentially
The tears were hard to hide
And we just couldn't say goodbye
[Bridge]
The clock was striking twelve o'clock
It smiled on us below
With folded hands it seemed to say
"We'll miss you if you go"

[Verse 3]
So I went back and kissed him
And when I looked around
The room was singing love songs
And dancing up and down
And now we're both so happy
Because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say
No, we just couldn't say
We just couldn't say goodbye
