Lyrics
If you hate me after what I say
Can’t put it off any longer
Just gotta tell her anyway
Bye, bye baby, baby goodbye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Bye, bye baby, don’t make me cry (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
You’re the one girl in town I’d marry
Girl, I’d marry you now if I were free
I wish it could be
I could love you but why begin it?
‘Cause there ain’t any future in it
She’s got me, but I’m not free, so
Bye, bye baby, baby goodbye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Bye, bye baby, don’t make me cry (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Wish I never had known you better
Wish I knew you before I met her, gee
How good it would be for me
Should’ve told her that I can’t linger
There’s a wedding ring on my finger
She’s got me, but I’m not free, so
Bye, bye baby, baby goodbye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Bye, bye baby, don’t make me cry (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Baby, bye, bye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Baby, bye, bye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Baby, bye, bye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Baby, bye, bye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
Baby, bye, bye (bye baby, baby, bye, bye)
