Lyrics for Never Can Say Goodbye

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now I never can say goodbye Even though the pain and heartache Seems to follow me wherever I go Though I try and try to hide my feelings They always seems to show Then you try to say you're leaving me And I always have to say no Tell me why is it so That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now I never can say goodbye Every time I think I've had enough And start heading for the door There's a very strange vibration Piercing me right through the core It says, "Turn around, you fool, you know you love him more and more" Tell me why is it so Don't wanna let go Never can say goodbye Girl oo oo baby Never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo Oh, I never can say goodbye Girl oo oo I never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now I never can say goodbye I keep thinking that our problems Soon are all gonna work out But there's that same unhappy feeling There's that anguish, there's that doubt It's the same old dizzy hangup Can't do with you or without Tell me why is it so, don't wanna let you go
