How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye

Here we are so close to the end now
Still holding on and trying to pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying (it's dying)
We've tried and tried to find the solution
But darling, all our dreams have now been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

But how many times can we say goodbye?
And how many times can we see love die?
And how many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say goodbye?
Hmm-mm, goodbye (goodbye)

We're so in love, but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us abusing, and both of us using

Ayy, ay-ay, darling, it's time to stop pretending (stop)
There's just no way to rewrite our ending (no way)
We're caught in this game
And we know we're both losing

Oh, but now, how many times can we say goodbye?
Ayy, how many times can we see love die?
Tell me, how many times can we give it one more try (one more)
Before we really say goodbye? Yeah, oh-oh

How many times can we breakup and makeup?
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on and on
Living a lie
Though, I'll always love you

How many times can we say goodbye? (Ooh!)
How many times can we watch love die?
How many times can we give it one more try? (One more)
How many times before we really (really, really) say goodbye?

Bye-bye
Goodbye
Bye-bye
Goodbye
Bye-by-by-bye, bye
Goodbye (ayy-ay, ayy-ayy)
