I don’t want her goodbye kisses as she’s walking out the door
It’s plain to see, as she leaves, she don’t love me anymore
I’ll turn my head and look away, won’t beg her to stay
‘cause I don’t want her goodbye kisses that way

Time there was she rushed right home to be by my side
Now she leaves most every night, living her lie
She smiles at me says don’t wait up, keys jingling in her hand
She’ll want to have a goodnight kiss but this is where I stand

I don’t want her goodbye kisses as she’s walking out the door
It’s plain to see, as she leaves, she don’t love me anymore
I’ll turn my head and look away, won’t beg her to stay
‘cause I don’t want her goodbye kisses that way

She comes back home it’s late at night, she fumbles in the dark
She won’t see I’ve had to leave ‘til turning on the light
It won’t take long to know something’s wrong as she finds my note
She’ll sit to read and won’t believe that this is what I wrote

I don’t want your goodbye kisses as you’re walking out the door
It’s plain to see, as you leave, you don’t love me anymore
Don’t look for me, I’ve gone away, can’t beg me to stay
‘cause I don’t want your goodbye kisses this way
I don’t want your goodbye kisses this way
