[Verse 1]
What's so good about goodbye?
All it does is make-a you cry
Well, if leaving causes grieving
Goodbye can break your heart
So tell me (what's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?

[Verse 2]
Since you said goodbye to me
All I've known is misery
But everything goes wrong
And lovers say so long
Then tell me (what's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?

[Bridge]
How can goodbye be good to a lover who really cares?
And another thing I'd like to clarify
How can farewell be fair?

{Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
How can goodbye be good to a lover who really cares?
And another thing I'd like to clarify
How can farewell be fair?
[Verse 3}
Won't you please tell me why
You and I could never say this is goodbye
Girl, when it makes me so sad until it's got to be bad
(What's so good about it?)
I could have done without it
What's so good about goodbye?

What's so good about goodbye?
Baby
What's so good about goodbye?
