WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT GOODBYE

Writer William “Smokey” Robinson



What's so good about goodbye

All it does is make you cry

Well if leavin' causes grief

Goodbye can break your heart

Tell me what's so good about goodbye

I could have done without it

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

I could have done without it

Ah, you and I could never say this is goodbye

Girl, well it makes me so sad

Until it's got to be bad

Tell me what's so good about goodbye

I could have done without it

What's so good about goodbye

Baby, baby what's so good about goodbye

You said goodbye to me

All I've known is misery

But if everything goes wrong lovers stay so long

Tell me what's so good about goodbye

I could have done without it

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

I could have done without it
