Lyrics

[v1]
She hangs out in Bangor - I see her every now and again
Everyone knows her spirit glows so everyone’s her friend
She’s like one of those angels I learned about in Sunday School
Smiling at me so kindly though I seem to keep losing my cool

I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye
I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye

[v2]
Now I don’t know her number - never had the nerve to ask
Fact is I’m attracted yeah but something keeps holding me back
Afraid I might offend her - afraid I might underachieve
Wishing I could kiss her when it counts instead of only when she leaves

I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye
I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye

[v3]
If she goes back home to England – if one day she disappears
I’ll be kicking myself - You chicken-shit - I’ll cry these love sick tears
So I’ll speak next time I see her - Yeah I’ll ask her to the dance
And we’ll see where the evening leads us to - Not gonna miss another chance

I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye
I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye


[Bridge]
So I’m singing to make my feelings felt
I’m searching for words to help make sense
I’m trying to stop lying to myself

Oh I better act fast, it’s getting late
I better come clean not hesitate
I need her now like I needed no-one else

[v4]
I don’t have her address - I don’t know where she lives
I been sitting on a fence called penitence and there’s nothing to forgive
Well if you happen to see her tell her I’m on my way
If she been feeling lonely lately tell her it’ll be okay

I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye
I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye
I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye
I don’t know why we only ever kiss goodbye - Goodbye!
