Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I know I'm gonna die
Goodbye my love bye bye

There goes our lady
With a "you know who"
I hope she's happy
And "old 'Clapper' too"
We had good rhythm
(and a little slide)
Then she stepped in
Did me a favour
I threw them both out.

(Hmm) goodbye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love bye bye
(Hmm) bye bye love (Hmm)
It's gonna be a raining out of doors
(Hmm) hello happiness (Hmm)
Goodbye my love goodbye

Now I'm into romance
I shy away from love
Got tired of ladies (ooh ooh)
That plot and shove me
And that's the reason
We all can (see) so clearly
They see that our lady
Is out on a 'spree'

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
Think I'm gonna cry

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello emptiness
