[English]

I had to meet you here today

There's just so many things to say

Please don't stop me 'til I'm through

This is something I hate to do

We've been meeting here so long

I guess what we've done, oh, was wrong

And please, darling, don't you cry

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Many months have passed up by (I'm gonna miss you)

I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)

I've got ties and so do you (I'm gonna miss you)

I just think this is the thing to do

It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie

Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy

Understand me, oh, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Ooh, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)

Let's just kiss and say goodbye (I'm gonna miss you)

Yeah, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)

...

It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie

Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy

Understand me, oh, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Ooh, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)

I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)

Understand me, won't you try? (I'm gonna miss you)

It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)

Take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes (I'm gonna miss you)

Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy (I'm gonna miss you)

Whoa, whoa (I'm gonna miss you)

Let's just kiss and say goodbye
