Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I’m gonna cry
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die

Bye bye my love, goodbye

There goes my baby
With someone new
She sure looks happy
I sure am blue
She was my baby
Till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance
That might have been

I’m through with romance
I’m through with love
I’m through with counting
The stars above
And here’s the reason
That I’m so free
My loving baby
Is through with me

Two steps away from the county line,
Just trying to keep my customers
satisfied,
Satisfied.

It’s the same old story
Everywhere I go,
I get slandered,
Libeled.
I hear words I never heard
In the Bible.
And I’m so tired,
I’m oh so tired,
But I’m trying to keep my customers
satisfied,
Satisfied.
