Well you tell me I'm way out of touch So I tell you that it don't me much to me And nothing comes for free So it goes all day And into the night Don't you know we're just bound to fuss and fight you see You don't listen to me I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye You know me I get way out of line I tell you this is just wastin my time But don't go Cause we've got nothing to show So it goes all day almost every night The shadows grow darker and in the light of the clear day I wish you'd hear me say I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye I've got ears I've got eyes I've got all my senses to keep me wise Hold your tears tell no lies I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye

I know they say if you love somebody You should set them free (So they say) But it sure is hard to do Yeah, it sure is hard to do And I know they say if they don't come back again Then it's meant to be (So they say) But those words ain't pulling me through 'Cause I'm still in love with you I spend each day here waiting for a miracle But it's just you and me going through the mill Climbin' up a hill This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart? No matter how hard I try, you're gonna make me cry Come on baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happening here is a long goodbye Sometimes I ask my heart did we really Give our love a chance (Just one more chance) And I know without a doubt I turned it inside out And if we walked away Would make more sense (Only self defense) But it tears me up inside Just to think we still could try How long must we keep riding on a carousel Going round and round and never getting anywhere? On a wing and prayer This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart? No matter how hard I try, you're gonna make me cry Come on baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happening here is the long goodbye This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart? No matter how hard I try, you're gonna make me cry Come on baby, it's over, let's face it All that's happening here is the long goodbye Are you ever coming back again? Are you ever coming back again? Are you ever coming back again?
