The Way You Say Good-bye Lyrics - Blackjack David - Dave Alvin

Well I hate the way you call my name, baby 

I hate that look on your face 

And I hate the cold touch of your kiss, baby 

I hate the chill in your embrace 

Oh, but I hate the way that you pull from me 

When I want you by my side 

Yeah, baby 

I hate the way that you say "Goodbye." 

I hate my eyes 'cause they see, baby 

That you'll be goin' soon 

And I hate my mind 'cause it knows, baby 

There ain't nothin' I can do 

But I hate my arms that long to hold you 

And I hate my heart that wants to cry 

Yeah baby, I hate the way that you say "Goodbye." 

I hate the way you talk, and you talk and talk 

'Til I hate every word that you say 

I hate the lies I believe when you swear you won't leave 

Then you turn around and you walk away 

Well I hate the night I met you, baby 

And your lips first touched mine 

Yeah. baby 

Well I hate the way that you say "Goodbye." 

Well I hate the way I wait 

Honey, and I wait and wait 

For you to make up your mind 

And I hate the way it seems I'm always down on my knees 

Begging, "Baby come back one more time." 

Well I hate everything I love about you 

And I'm gonna hate it all my life 

Yeah baby I hate the way that you say "Goodbye." 

I hate the way that you say "Goodbye."
