Well you say we are through and for me to me move on

But tell me sweet mama will you cry when I'm gone

Are you sure you mean it when you tell me to fly what I want to know is this goodbye

Oh after I leave you will you follow me around fightin' and fussin' all over this town

Are you gonna be happy or will you cry what I want to know is this goodbye

Now you know you've said this many times before

When your money runs out you're bangin' on my door

Are you gonna be good or try to black my eye what I want to know is this goodbye

Like a stubborn mule you always change your mind

Will the weather be fair or will it rain all the time

Will the lightenin' strike when me'n my blonde walks by

What I want to know is this goodbye

Now baby you know I always aim to please for I want your little heart to be at ease

I don't want no dynamite fallin' from the sky what I want to know is this goodbye
