The Reason For Goodbye (Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Ain't Complaining - 1988)

Walk out the door and keep on moving
'Cos you won't get a second chance
No-one ever treat me so bad baby
You can find some other dance
Tell all your friends down on the corner
You're looking for another fool
'Cos I ain't gonna let you walk on me, babe
Wouldn't make me look too cool

That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye

Shake off the tears, and so long, baby
You know you made a big mistake
Thinking you could cheat on me was simply
More than any man could take
We had a lot of good times once, but baby
Now I guess the good time's gone
You'd be better off with someone who would
Take your loving and move on

That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye

I got a little sick and tired of people talking
Telling me they know the score
I didn't wanna hear what they were saying
I kept coming back for more, more, mo-o-o-ore

That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye
That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said
You're never gonna change
The reason why we said
You're never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye
