Song Lyrics

I put down the phone
And feel more alone
Than I did before it rang
And you were there (yeah yeah)
I go back to bed
And those things you said
Run around inside my head
And I can't sleep (oh no)

Don't say goodbye to the goodbye girl
Just say see you soon
I say goodbye to the goodbye girl
And it's our nineteenth honeymoon
So I'm late for work
And you're such a jerk
But I can't stay mad
Cause you're so far away (hey hey)
So I'm home again
I'm alone again
But I only feel
Remotely in control (whoa whoa)
I don't even know her name
Don't know when I'll get a
Chance to talk to her again

Don't say goodbye to the goodbye girl
Just say see you soon
I say goodbye to the goodbye girl
And it's our nineteenth honeymoon
Pay telephone from a twilight zone
And I'm hanging on the line
I fell in love with the goodbye girl
Now I'll never say goodbye
(Hey hey)
