Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)

Gladys Knight & The Pips (4:21, #1, 1973)

It's sad to think, we're not gonna make it

And it's gotten to the point, where we just can't fake it

For some ungodly reason, We just won't let it die

I guess neither one of us, wants to be the first to say good-bye.

I keep wondering, what I'm gonna do without you.

And I guess you must be, wondering the same thing too.

So we go on, go on together, living a lie

Because neither one of us, wants to be the first to say goodbye.

Everytime I find the nerve

Everytime, I find the nerve to say I'm leaving

Oh memories, those old memories get in my way.

Lord knows it's only me, Oh, he knows it's only me, that I'm deceiving

When it comes to saying goodbye

That's simple word that I just cannot say.

There can be no way, there can be no way...

this can have a happy ending, no no

So we just go on hurting and pretending and convincing ourselves

to give it just one more try.

Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say,

Neither one of us wants to be the first to say

Neither one of us wants to be the first to say

Neither one of us wants to be the first to say

Farewell my love....goodbye.

It was the third of September

That day I'll always remember, yes I will

'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.

I never got a chance to see him.  Never heard nothing but bad things about him

Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth

Mama just hung her head and said, son

*Papa was a rolling stone.  Wherever he laid his hat was his home.

And when he died, all he left us was alone.

(*repeat)

Hey mama, is it true what they say, that papa never worked a day in his life.

And mama, some bad talk going around town

Sayin' that papa had three outside children and another wife...and that ain't right

Heard some talk about papa doing some store-front preaching.

Talking about saving souls and the time leaching

Dealing in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord

Mama just hung her head and said

(*repeat)

Hey mama, I heard papa called himself a jack-of-all-trades.

Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave?

Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal to pay his bills.

Hey mama, folks say papa never was much on thinking

Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.

Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said son

(*repeat x 2)
