You're Making a Good-Bye Bad lyrics

I know we don't need one more sad good-bye1

'Cause livin' is hard enough when you're right here by my side

Ooh, there's my plane

One more moment and I'm on my way

Believe me now, I sure hate to go

But don't make it harder than it has to be

The things that you tell me now 

Are the things that stay with me

Please dry those tears

Ooh, baby, let me kiss away your fears

Believe in me like I believe in you

Don't cry, baby

Because you're makin' a good-bye bad 

And that ain't good

Good-bye bad and that ain't good

Hold on, hold on

You and me

So try to be strong and it'll be alright

Believe me, it won't be long 

Till I'm on that homeward flight

Oh, my love is real

Ooh, baby, can't you see the way I feel?

Believe in me like I believe in you

(Believe in me, baby)

Don't cry, baby

Because you're makin' a good-bye bad 

And that ain't good

(No, it ain't good, no, no, no)

Good-bye bad and that ain't good

(Won't be long till I'm back, now, now)

Hold on (hold on, now), hold on

You and me (you and me)

Wanna stay together, we can make it

You and me

Good-bye bad and that ain't good

(You know it ain't baby)

Good-bye bad and that ain't good

(Oh, no, no)

Good-bye, good-bye, baby

Good-bye, good-bye, baby

Hold on, hold on

You and me

1. In modern writing, "goodbye" is spelled as one word, but I've used the hyphenated spelling throughout the song to match their title. I believe they chose to use the old-fashioned spelling in order to emphasize the word play between good/bad.
