It takes an awful lot to get me down but it only took one word from her goodbye
Takes an awful lot to make me cry it only took one word from her goodbye
What's wrong with me why couldn't I see
The lonely nights for her would be too long I'm here she's gone
Takes an awful lot to make me cry it only took one word from her goodbye

[ piano ]
How can one word cut you so deep
And leave you with an ugly scar for life cut you like a knife
Takes an awful lot to bring me down it only took one word from her goodbye
Goodbye goodbye

Goodbye Lyrics
