Lyrics for What's So Good About Goodbye

What's so good about goodbye? All it does is make you cry Well, if leavin' causes grievin' And to part can break your heart Tell me, what's so good about it? I could have done without it What's so good about goodbye? Since you say goodbye to me All I've known is misery Well, if everything goes wrong when lovers say so long Tell me, what's so good about it? I could have done without it What's so good about goodbye? 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 So won't you please (please) please tell me why You would have the nerve to say this is goodbye Well, if everything goes wrong, you never say so long Tell me, what's so good about it? Lord, I could have done without it What's so good about goodbye? Baby, baby What's so good about goodbye? What's so good about it? What's so good about it?
