Scritti Politti - First Goodbye lyrics

rate me

Then I got my first goodbye

I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes

I was sure that you loved me

Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be

They played a song that took me back, girl

I closed my eyes and we were there in John Frost Square

It's only now that I realise, girl

I threw away my one true love

I watched us standing at the station

And you were cold and oh you cried, how I lied

I told you then I didn't need you, girl

'Cause I was cool and on my way

Then I got my first goodbye

I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes

I was sure that you loved me

Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be

And then I put my past behind me

And life was good and times were high, and I could fly

Even then a voice would find me

And say your name, and ask me why

And so in time I tried to find you

I sent a message care of Sarah, and you were there and said:

"I was time you put behind you"

And now you're happy and so in love

Then I got my first goodbye

I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes

I was sure that you loved me

Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be

It's only now I realise, girl

Ooh yeah

Then I got my first goodbye

I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes

In my eyes (in my eyes)

In my eyes (ooh baby)

In my eyes (you made me cry)

In my eyes

Then I got my first goodbye

I didn't know what hit me 'til I felt the tears in my eyes

I was sure that you loved me

Only goes to show how wrong a heart can be.
