It's another back-door sneakin' in
Where you been? midnight
Quiet as a mack truck-lotsa luck
Thinkin' up an alibi
But every light in the house is on
Everything is gone

Chorus:
She left me no chance at redemption
No further exemption
Just a big red "goodbye" in lipstick on the wall
Goodbye says it all
No long explanation
No reconciliation
No let's-talk-it-over number I can call
Goodbye says it all
Goodbye...

She could have thrown a knock-down scream-and-shout
Have-it-out tirade
She could have made it real tough bringing up
All the hell that I raised
But no more wasted words on me
No, she kept short and sweet

Repeat Chorus

No more wasted words on me
No, she kept short and sweet

Repeat Chorus
