I had to meet you here today
‘Cause I’ve got so many things to say
So don’t stop me till I’m through
This is something I hate to do

We’ve been meeting here so long
And what we’ve done seems so wrong
Please darlin’, don’t you cry
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye

Many months have passed us by (I’m gonna miss you)
I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
I’ve got ties, so have you (I’m gonna miss you)
This is the only thing to do

It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie
But it’s the best thing for you and I
Understand me, won’t you try
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye

It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie
But it’s the best thing for you and I
Understand me, won’t you try
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye

Ooh...hoo...ooh... (I’m gonna miss you)
I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
Please darlin’, don’t you cry (I’m gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief, dry your eyes (I’m gonna miss you)

Understand me, won’t you try (I’m gonna miss you)
It’s the best thing for you and I (I’m gonna miss you)
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye, my baby (I’m gonna miss you)
Please don’t you cry (I’m gonna miss you)

It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
But it’s the best thing for you and I (I’m gonna miss you)
Understand me, don’t you cry
