[Lyric] Goodbye You Hello Him 12 Version (Betty Wright)

[Intro]
Dear mister Look-So-Good, speakin' of papers: this paper is to inform you I'm gone, me and the furniture. Since you seem to be takin' your good time getting out, I've left your dog, he's too old now. Your clothes? My brother's wearing them. All that was I didn't burn up or rip up, I wrote this song for you. Now let me hear you sing this one in the shower!

[Verse 1]
Your kisses were more golden than wine
You could just look at me, and do a thing to my mind
All too soon, bliss became blue
Then we lost each other in the samе room
This will probably, haha... make you real, real mad
But hе's got the love you thought you had

[Chorus 1]
(Goodbye you, hello him) goodbye you, hello him
(Goodbye you, hello him) goodbye you, hello him
I'm tired of taking your you-know-what
Free at last, leaving your butt
So goodbye you, hello him, mm...

[Verse 2]
I used to sit and just boo-hoo
Ain't it strange, what a little love can come along and do
You've been domino'd, I've stuck him in your place
And oh, by the way: there are no more pimples on my face
[Chorus 2]
(Goodbye you, hello him) goodbye you, hello him
(Goodbye you, hello him) goodbye you, hello him
He's gonna bite these juicy lips tonight
I'll let him practice till (ooh), he gets it just right
So goodbye you, hello him...
The you I'm leavin' is not the you I love
So goodbye you, hello him

[Monologue]
Somewhere along the way, you forgot that when I first met you, you couldn't rub five nickels together to make a pore. I stuck by you, I stuck up for you. Stood you up on your feet, and then you kicked me with one of 'em. I gotta hand it to you, though: you were a smooth talker. Gradually ease your little raggedy stuff into my apartment, one soothe at a time. Ate up my groceries, laid up on me, laid all your little funky trips on me. If any food was put into the house, guess who put it there. I had to be the man and the woman too!
And that mushy stuff I used to write to you? It's not just some terrible poetry, I'm about to burn. Now, my new man, he thinks my company is fun, I speak up – it's done. Flowers, candy, dinner, gentleness, attention, the whole world, he's my magic man. Shame I had to leave home to get what I needed...

[Verse 3]
I'm taking me away from you
Puttin' all things aside, startin' anew
He's a tall, good lookin' hunk of a man
Ain't out there tryin' to catch everything he can

[Chorus 1]
(Goodbye you, hello him) goodbye you, hello him
(Goodbye you, hello him) goodbye you, hello him
I'm tired of taking your you-know-what
I'm free at last, I'm leaving your butt
So goodbye you, hello him
[Outro]
I'm tired of taking your you-know-what
So goodbye you, hello him
Oh, I'm so tired of taking your, your you-know-what
Oh, so goodbye, goodbye you, hello him
Thank the Lord! I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of taking your, your you-know-what
Oh, so goodbye... you, hello him
Ooh, I'm tired of taking your you-know-what
So goodbye you, hello him
I'm tired of taking your, your you-know-what
Ah, so goodbye, goodbye you, hello him...
