Lyrics Tell The Lady I Said Goodbye - Johnnie Ray

Yeah

I′ve been so lost lately
I don't really understand baby
Where did I go wrong
I wanna talk to you, please call

Where do I begin with you
After all that we′ve been through
I don't think that it would be right if we
Got together so suddenly

I wish that I could take back
All of the things that I said
And replace them with simply
'I love you′ instead

You don′t wanna say goodbye
But you never really seem like you wanna try
But I only wanted you to stay
And then I let you just slip away

If you didn't listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn′t matter what was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why
Girl, I never meant to say goodbye, oh, yeah, yeah

I think about the past baby
Why we couldn't make it last, lady
I know you still have doubts
But I′m gonna prove that we can work things out

I wanna be sure that you
Know what you put me through
And reveal that you intend
To never let me down again

It's clear to me and I can′t ignore
That I have to give you something I couldn't before

You don't wanna say goodbye
But you never really seem like you wanna try
But I only wanted you to stay
And then I let you just slip away

If you didn′t listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn′t matter what was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why
Girl, I never meant to say goodbye

I didn't think that we would come to this, ooh, no
Your eyes, your face, your smile is what I miss
Why did you wait so long to take me back
It′s all a simple misunderstanding

You don't wanna say goodbye
But you never really seem like you wanna try
But I only wanted you to stay
And then I let you just slip away

If you didn′t listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn't matter what was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why

You don′t wanna say goodbye
But you never really seem like you wanna try
But I only wanted you to stay
And then I let you just slip away

If you didn't listen to your heart inside
Then it really doesn't matter what was on your mind
And if you need me then tell me why
Girl, I never meant to say goodbye
