Hey, girl, I want you to know
I`m gonna miss you so much if you go (bye bye baby)
And hey, girl, I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me`s going to die (bye bye baby)
If you say So long (bye bye baby)
If this is Goodbye (bye bye baby)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, girl, this can`t be true
How am I supposed to exist without you? (bye bye baby)
Hey, girl, now don`t put me on
What`s gonna happen to me when you`re gone? (bye bye baby)
How will I live (bye bye baby)
How can I go on? (bye bye baby)
How can I go on? (bye bye baby)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, girl, now sit yourself down
I`m not ashamed to get down on the ground (bye bye baby)
And beg (bye bye baby), beg you to stay (bye bye baby)
Don`t go away (bye bye baby)
Hey, girl (bye bye baby)
No, I beg ya, please don`t go away (bye bye baby)
FADE
Hey, girl (bye bye baby)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don`t, don`t go away
