You Get Goodbyes Songtext
von Rod Thomas

I don′t want to be polite tonight
I've had enough of giving off when it′s not deserved
I've taken so many sideways steps that I couldn't
Be much further from the truth if I tried
So I′ll hold my heart aloft and say that I′m hard
Not soft and that's what you′ve got to think about


Oh, too many of your lies and you'll get goodbyes
So I′ll get a little box and fill it with all
Those things that I put up with on the way
Like losing my independence, all of your self-
Importance and this thing that you call pride
And maybe I'll lose some weight and maybe I′ll shed
Some tears but that's nothing much to talk about
All that boy you're giving is these lies and you′ll get goodbyes, oh!

It′s a sad thing when you've just had enough
You can′t possibly take another day
Being bored by all this skating around
Making figures in dirt that seem to say
That this place is full of lies, so you'll get goodbyes

Oh, this place is full of lies, so you get... oh!

I don′t want to be polite tonight, I've had enough of
Don′t want to be polite tonight, I've had enough of
Don't want to be polite tonight, I′ve had enough of
Don′t want to be polite tonight, I've had enough of
Don′t want to be polite tonight, I've had enough of
Don′t want to be polite tonight, I've had enough of you!
