Well that'll be the day, when you say goodbye well,
That'll be the day, when you make me cry.
You say you gonna leave me, you know it's a lie cause
That'll be the day, when I die.

Well that'll be the day, when you say goodbye well,
That'll be the day, when you make me cry.
You say you gonna leave me, you know it's a lie cause
That'll be the day, when I die.

Well you gave me all your lovin' and your, turtle dovin',
All your hugs and kisses and your, money too.
You know you love me baby, still here ya tell me baby,
That some day well I'll be true.

Well that'll be the day, when you say goodbye well,
That'll be the day, when you make me cry.
You say you gonna leave me, you know it's a lie cause
That'll be the day, when I die.

(SOLO)

When cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart.
So if we ever part, I'll leave you.
You kiss and hold me and ya, tell me boldly girl,
That some day well I'll be true.

Well that'll be the day, when you say goodbye well,
That'll be the day, when you make me cry.
You say you gonna leave me, you know it's a lie cause
That'll be the day, when I die.

That'll be the day (ooh ooh) Hoo hoo,
That'll be the day (ooh ooh) Hoo hoo,
That'll be the day (ooh ooh) Hoo hoo,
That'll be the day, when I die.
