Goodbye Girl - Squeeze

I met her in a poolroom

Her name I didn’t catch

She looked like something special

The kind who’d understand

The room was almost spinning

She pulled another smile

She had the grace like pleasure

She had a certain style

Sunlight on the lino

Waken me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she’s gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye…

She took me to her hotel

Her room on the second floor

A kettle and two coffees

Her number on the door

I said, «I hardly know you»

Agreed we kissed goodnight

I knew that in the morning

Somehow I’d wake to find

Sunlight on the lino

Waken me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she’s gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye…

I lost my silver bracelet

My clubroom locker keys

The money in the waistcoat

This doesn’t bother me

My wife has moved to Jersey

So luck is not the word

If you ever see her

Say «Hello goodbye girl»

Sunlight on the lino

Waken me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she’s gone

Goodbye girl (x6)

Goodbye…
