"Kissing You Goodbye" lyrics

"Kissing You Goodbye"

Learned to turn the other cheek is not what love's about
I've turned mine so many times that I damn near worn it out
I've grown used to your abuse and I thought I'd never quit
But I woke up this morning, couldn't find my shiv a git

You've always liked to play your games, well, I've got one for you
Pretend we're playing checkers, baby, and it's your time to move
You'll find your suitcase on the porch and a taxi in the drive
Just get your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you goodbye

I see you've finally made it home, well, you been out all night
Your polyester suit's a mess and your clothes don't fit you right
I've given and forgiven, baby, 'til there ain't nothing left
But all you gave was just enough to satisfy yourself

I can smell that whisky in your hair and the Sen-Sen on your breath
If you ever tried to tell the truth, then you'd choke yourself to death
Don't want your nasty kisses, baby, don't tell me no more lies
Just get your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you goodbye

I said, "Get your tongue out of my mouth. I'm kissing you goodbye."
Goodbye
