Um um um um Um um um um

There ain't no reason for us sittin' down
To try to talk our problems out
'Cause we know the truth,
It ain't no use each other we must do without.

There ain't no reason tryin' to force a smile
When pain is really in its place
'Cause we know the truth,
It ain't no use let's part before we lose love's trace.

We've got to say
Bye bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye bye
Wow oh ooh oh ooh wow oh ooh

As I look back I'm really try'n to see
Just what it was that made us spark
'Cause the fire's out
It leaves no doubt, the flame's not burning in our hearts.

We still are young and both of us have time
To find our winter love in spring

Yes we know the truth
It ain't no use, we're not each other's ev'rything.We always must say bye
Bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye
Wow oh ooh oh ooh wow oh ooh

Hate to say goodbye
Bye bye bye bye bye
Wow oh ooh oh ooh wow oh ooh

Why we say bye
Bye bye bye bye bye
The trill is gone babe, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bye bye bye bye bye
I tried my best to make it work
But it seems that we can't get it together, yeah,

We've got to run in the world
Bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye
Seems that we just don't want tot do it
I guess we run out of fluid.
Wow oh oh oh ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah wonderful baby, baby, baby
Bye bye bye bye bye
Don't go, take me baby, don't go baby
Bye bye bye bye bye
Ain't no use 'cause we done run out of juice
Wow oh oh oh ooh

So long baby bye bye baby.
