Basic Goodbye

Her heart was shattered by the cruel things he said

She went right for his pride and ripped it to shreds

He said I never really loved you, she said I don't really care

Lord, you'd never even know love ever lived there

It's just your basic goodbye

Just your plain old everyday don't let the door hit you goodbye

Just your average farewell

To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known, farewell

Somebody's setting fire to a bridge tonight

It's front row at an Ali-Frazier fight

Barnum and Bailey should have bought the rights

It's just your basic goodbye

When you first fall in love, it's forever time

Then one day it happens and you don't know why

Sweet nothings turn into such mean, bitter words

And insults start flying like you never heard

It's just your basic goodbye

Just your plain old everyday don't let the door hit you goodbye

Just your average farewell

To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known, farewell

Somebody's setting fire to a bridge tonight

It's front row at an Ali-Frazier fight

Barnum and Bailey should have bought the rights

It's just your basic goodbye

Just your average farewell

To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known, farewell

Somebody's setting fire to a bridge tonight

It's front row at an Ali-Frazier fight

Barnum and Bailey should have bought the rights

It's just your basic goodbye
