What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone
What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone

So you're having trouble with your romance
Well you better check it out before it goes
'Cause you may not be seein'
Things just the way you should
And you don't recognize what everybody knows

What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone
What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone

And all at once you're ready to hang it up
'Cause things didn't turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they're calling you a fool
'Cause you don't know a good thing
When you got it in your hands

[Instrumental Interlude]

What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone
What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone

And all at once you're ready to hang it up
'Cause things didn't turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they're calling you a fool
'Cause you don't know a good thing
When you got it in your hands

What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone
What you gonna do when she says goodbye
What you gonna do when she is gone
