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
