I know we don't need one more sad good-bye1
'Cause livin' is hard enough when you're right here by my side
Ooh, there's my plane
One more moment and I'm on my way
Believe me now, I sure hate to go
But don't make it harder than it has to be
The things that you tell me now
Are the things that stay with me
Please dry those tears
Ooh, baby, let me kiss away your fears
Believe in me like I believe in you
Don't cry, baby
Because you're makin' a good-bye bad
And that ain't good
Good-bye bad and that ain't good
Hold on, hold on
You and me
So try to be strong and it'll be alright
Believe me, it won't be long
Till I'm on that homeward flight
Oh, my love is real
Ooh, baby, can't you see the way I feel?
Believe in me like I believe in you
(Believe in me, baby)
Don't cry, baby
Because you're makin' a good-bye bad
And that ain't good
(No, it ain't good, no, no, no)
Good-bye bad and that ain't good
(Won't be long till I'm back, now, now)
Hold on (hold on, now), hold on
You and me (you and me)
Wanna stay together, we can make it
You and me
Good-bye bad and that ain't good
(You know it ain't baby)
Good-bye bad and that ain't good
(Oh, no, no)
Good-bye, good-bye, baby
Good-bye, good-bye, baby
Hold on, hold on
You and me
1. In modern writing, "goodbye" is spelled as one word, but I've used the hyphenated spelling throughout the song to match their title. I believe they chose to use the old-fashioned spelling in order to emphasize the word play between good/bad.
