She always told me
That she was bored
With the same old story
She'd heard it all
So I said good night
And she said hold tight
I said no, no, no,
I don't need you.

So goodbye lady blue
Oh, oh
Goodbye lady blue.

And so she called me
And like a whore
She came to me so warmly
Down on my knees
I heard her whisper
Alright
You can stay tonight
And I said no, no, no,
Though I wanted to.

Goodbye lady blue
Oh, oh
Goodbye lady blue.

And through her window
I could see the light of day
And as I turned to go
I had no strength to walk away.

( instrumental )

And in the morning
She was gone
She left me without warning
I looked around
Found the message on the night light,
Said thanks for last night
And I said no, no, no
It can't be true.

Goodbye lady blue
Oh, oh
Goodbye lady blue
Oh, oh
Goodbye lady blue
Oh, oh
Goodbye lady blue.
