Jackson 5 – Never Can Say Goodbye lyrics
I Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go,
Though I try and try to hide my feelings,
They always seems to show,

Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no,
Tell me why is it so.

That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Everytime I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door,
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right through the core,
It says, "Turn around, you fool, you know you love him more and more."
Tell me why is it so.

Don't wanna let go.
Never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo baby.
Never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Oh, I never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo.

I never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out.
But there's that same unhappy feeling,
There's that anguish, there's that doubt.
It's the same old dizzy hangup,
Can't do with you or without.
Tell me why is it so, don't wanna let you go.

    Sjb. It when you love someone so much you can't let go. You know they feel the same way too but can they change for the better but do they want to change for you. Cause you can carry your love and the love for the other person. They have too want it and be with you too. Soo to love one so much and walk away because you know the situation isn't getting any better and only time will tell is it's meant to be or not. If they love just as much to say I want' to be with you too.

    This song is about attachment that comes from being with someone. And it's about the feelings that come after the separation. It's always hard to say goodbye to the one you love. The one you've gone through so much with. Even though you may love this person, they might not love you anymore. And sometimes moving on is harder than people make it seem. The memories haunt you forever. Sometimes you think you're finally ready to move on, and then you realize you haven't at all. It's just hard to say goodbye to the one you love.
