[Intro]
Girl, don't you say; girl, don't you say, ooh
Girl, don't you make; girl, don't you make, ooh
Make me cry
Make me cry

[Verse 1: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
You had my life (you had my life)
In the palm of your hand (in the palm of your hand)
Why you threw it away, I'll never ever understand
You took away the best part (the best part)
The best part of me
You took away you
How cruel could you be

[Pre-Chorus]
You're just another heartache I've got to learn to take
You're just another habit I have to learn to break
Am I alone again?
Am I alone again?
Am I alone, alone, alone...

[Chorus]
Don't say goodbye again
Don't say goodbye again
Don't make me cry, cry, cry
Don't say goodbye again
Don't say goodbye again
Don't make me cry, cry, cry, again
Again, again
[Post-Chorus: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
The more I try the more you hurt me
Why (why)
Tell me why (tell him why)
Tell me why

[Verse 2: Michael]
I can take an aspirin for a bad headache
But what pill for loneliness can I take?
I can see through you just like cellophane
But I need you baby like a star needs fame

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not another habit I have to learn to break
Let's try to patch it up before it's too late
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love, in love, in love...

[Chorus]
Don't say goodbye again
Don't say goodbye again
Don't make me cry, cry, cry
Don't say goodbye again
Don't say goodbye again
Don't make me cry, cry, cry, again
[Post-Chorus]
The more I try the more you hurt me
Why (why)
Tell me why (tell him why)
Tell me why

[Bridge: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Don't have to say, don't have to say (don't say goodbye)
Don't say goodbye
Don't have to make, don't have to make (don't make me cry)
Don't make me cry, cry, cry

[Chorus]
Don't say goodbye again
Don't say goodbye again
Don't make me cry, cry, cry
Don't say goodbye again
Don't say goodbye again
Don't make me cry, cry, cry
Don't say goodbye again
Don't say goodbye again
Don't make me cry, cry, cry...
