What's so good about goodbye?

All it does is make-a you cry

Well, if leaving causes grieving

And depart can break you heart

Tell me what's so good about it

I could have done without it

What's so good about goodbye?

Since you said goodbye to me

All I've known is misery

Well, if everything goes wrong

And lovers say so long

Tell me what's so good about it

I could have done without it

What's so good about goodbye?

How can goodbye be good to a lover who really cares?

And another thing I would like to clarify

Is how can farewell be fair?

Won't you please tell me why

You could say this is goodbye

Girl, when it makes me so sad then it's got to be bad

Tell me what's so good about it

I could have done without it

What's so good about goodbye?

(Musical interlude)

Won't somebody tell me, now

How can goodbye be good to a lover who really cares?

And another thing I would like to clarify

Is how can farewell be fair?

Won't you please tell me why

You would have the nerve to say this is goodbye

Girl, when it makes me so sad then it's got to be bad

Tell me what's so good about it

I could have done without it

What's so good about goodbye?

Baby,

What's so good about goodbye?
