Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Goodbye, Mrs. Sorrow, hope you're feelin' better tomorrow night
Don't put up a fight, it'll do you no good
Hello, Uncle Freedom, I've seen them down on their knees for you
Nothing they wouldn't do to have you along

[Chorus]
I got too many problems
They just don't understand
They think their every wish is my command

[Verse 2]
Oh no, Sister Susie, you're in a win or lose affair
Wish I could be there to help you along
Oh yes, Brother Michael, we all have every faith in you
And everything you do, all the way 'round

[Chorus]
I got too many problems
They just don't understand
They think their every wish is my command

[Outro]
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
