We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye

We thought that love was over, that we were really through

I said I didn't love him and we'd begin anew

And you can all believe me, we sure intended to

But we just couldn't say goodbye

The chair and then the sofa broke right down and cried

The curtains started waving for him to come inside

Tell you confidentially, the tears were hard to hide

And we just couldn't say goodbye

The clock was striking twelve o'clock

It smiled on us below

With folded hands it seemed to say

"We'll miss you if you go"

So he came back and kissed me, and when I looked around

The room was singing love songs and dancing up and down

And now we're both so happy because at last we've found

We just couldn't say goodbye

People in love are funny, mighty hard to explain

One minute they quarrel, then they're back together again

Take my case, for instance, we had a little fuss

Listen, ladies and gentlemen, here's what happened to us

Ba-dum-ba-doo-doo-dum-bum, ba-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

And you can all believe me, we sure intended to

The chair and then the sofa broke right down and cried

I tell you confidentially, the tears were hard to hide

The clock was striking twelve o'clock

It smiled on us below

With folded hands it seemed to say

"We're gonna miss you if you go"

So he came back and kissed me, when I looked around

The room was singing love songs and dancing up and down

Now we're both so happy because at last we've found

That we just couldn't say goodbye
