Lyrics Goodbye Love - Southside Johnny, The Asbury Jukes

Goodbye Love

I better go
When it happens everyday, you know
You can’t try and live on a diet
Of pain and harsh words
Love’s not a trial
Ending in a walk down the aisle
You can’t ever twist the hands,
I don’t care what you’ve heard
You made it seem so simple
You made it easy to live
But how could I know that purring in my bed
Was a kitten with a whip
Goodbye love, it’s way past the moment
Goodbye love, stop trying
Goodbye love, can’t drive it to the dead end
Fate will never unbend, goodbye love
Now I understand
When the money runs through my hands
I’ll find myself all alone at the zero hour
Making love was so easy
Wearing diamonds and gold
How could I know that perched in my bed
Was a kitten with a whip
Goodbye love, it’s way past the moment
Goodbye love, stop trying
Goodbye love, can’t drive it to the dead end
Fate will never unbend, goodbye love
And when I turn off the lights
That’s when it hits the hardest
My resolution starts slipping away
And my conviction just falls from the hip
Goodbye love
