I met her in a poolroom

Her name I didn't catch 

She looks like something special

The kind who'd understand 

The room was almost spinning 

She pulled another smile 

She had the grace like pleasure 

She had a certain style 



Sunlight on the lino 

Woke me with a shake 

I looked around to find her but she'd gone 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 



She took me to a motel

The room on the second floor 

A kettle and two coffees 

The number on the door

She said I hardly know you 

Agreed we kissed goodnight 

I knew that in the morning 

Somehow I'd wake to find 



Sunlight on the lino 

Waken me with a shake 

I looked around to find her but she'd gone 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 



I lost my silver razor

My clubroom locker keys 

The money in the waistcoat

It doesn't bother me 

My wife has moved to Jersey

So mum is not the word 

If you ever see her 

Say hello Goodbye Girl



Sunlight on the lino 

Woke me with a shake 

I looked around to find her but she'd gone 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl 

Goodbye Girl
