(Tom T. Hall)

(Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.)

You kissed me and you said I was a gentleman to you
You said I was a person you could trust
You told me that you love me in a way that couldn't die
Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.

You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right
Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye
I stood and watched you walk away and I didn't even cry
Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.

--- Instrumental ---

You gave me that old pep talk as you cried on my sleeve
You said that you'd come running day or night
You said that I could call on you throughout my lonely life
Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.

You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right
Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye
I stood and watched you walk away and I didn't even cry
Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye...
