We thought that love was over
That we were really through
I said that I didn't love him
That we'd begin anew
And you can all believe me
We sure intend to do
But we just couldn't say goodbye
The chair and then the sofa
Broke right down and cried
The curtains started waving
For him to come inside
I tell you confidentiality
The tears were hard to hide
And we just couldn't say goodbye
The clock was striking 12 o'clock
It smiled on us below
With folded hands
It seemed to say
We'll miss you if you go
So he came back and kissed me
And when I looked around
The room was singin' love songs
And dancin' up and down
Now we're both so happy
Because at last we found
That we just couldn't say goodbye
People in love are funny
Mighty hard to explain
One minute they quarrel
Then they're back together again
Take my case for instance
We had a little fun
Listen ladies and gentlemen
Here's what happened to us
And you can all believe me
That we sure intend to do
The chair and then the sofa
Broke right down and cried
I tell you confidentiality
The tears were hard to hide
The clock was striking 12 o'clock
It smiled on us below
With folded hands
It seemed to say
We're gonna miss you if you go
So he came back and kissed me
And when I looked around
The room was singin' love songs
And dancin' up and down
Now we're both so happy
Because at last we found
That we just couldn't say goodbye
