KISS AND SAY GOODBYE.

THE MANHATTAN

SONGWRITER: WINFRED “BLUE” LOVETT

COUNTRY: USA

ALBUM: BEST OF KISS AND SAY GOOD BYE

LABEL: COLUMBIA

GENRE: R&B

YEAR: 1995

"Kiss and Say Goodbye" is a song recorded by the American R&B vocal group The Manhattans. It was one of the biggest hits of 1976.

The song was written by Manhattans member Winfred "Blue" Lovett. The lyrics and melody came to him late one night. As he later recalled, "Everything was there. I got up about three o'clock in the morning and jotted down the things I wanted to say. I just put the words together on my tape recorder and little piano. I've always thought that when you write slow songs, they have to have meaning. In this case, it's the love triangle situation we've all been through. I figured anyone who's been in love could relate to it. And it seemed to touch home for a lot of folks.

This has got to be the saddest day of my life

I called you here today for a bit of bad news

I won't be able to see you anymore

Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have

We've been meeting here every day

And since this is our last day together

I wanna hold you just one more time

When you turn and walk away, don't look back

I wanna remember you just like this

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

I had to meet you here today

There's just so many things to say

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

This is something I hate to do

We've been meeting here so long

I guess what we done, oh was wrong

Please darling, don't you cry

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Many months have passed us 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 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, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

(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, wipe your eyes

(I'm gonna miss you)

Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy

(I'm gonna miss you)

Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby

(I'm gonna miss you)

Please, don't you cry

(I'm gonna miss you)

Understand me, won't you try

(I'm gonna miss you)

Let's just kiss

And say goodbye

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 goodbye

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

And I guess you must be wondering that 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

Memories, those old memories get in my way

Lord knows, it's only me

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

When it comes to saying goodbye

That's a 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

Farewell my love, goodbye

Goodbye

THE BALLTRAP

ROD STEWART

SONGWRITER: ROD STEWART

COUNTRY: UK

ALBUM: A NIGHT ON THE TOWN

LABEL: WARNER BROS. RECORDS

GENRE: ROCK

YEAR: 1976

A Night on the Town is Rod Stewart's seventh album, released in 1976. The cover art is based on Pierre-Auguste Renoir's painting Bal du moulin de la Galette, with Stewart inserted in the centre in period costume. On 30 June 2009, Rhino reissued the album as a two-disc CD with bonus tracks. Stewart performed "Big Bayou" regularly with The Faces during their final US tour the previous year, although that version was based on the one Ronnie Wood released on his solo album, Now Look. A Night on the Town was Stewart's last UK number-one album until Time in 2013.

Well my brother said he saw you in a downtown bar

With a price on your head and a black man on your arm

C'mon sister, I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

I'd rather see you dead with a rope 'round your neck

Or see you paralyzed in both your thighs

C'mon honey you got me crawling down on my knees

If you say it's all over I'll pack up and go

But this time tomorrow you'll be screamin' on the phone

Come back baby and let's get naked tonight

Well I can't say yes and I can't say no

My heart wants to love you but my soul says go

C'mon sugar why don't you let your man off the hook

You got me in a balltrap

Lord I'm eating outta your hands

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram

First time I had you up on ol' Park Lane

You didn't know my name even when I came

As I recall you let me walk home in the rain

You said I'm cute but tell the truth

It's my body you want with the red hot juice

C'mon honey let's call the whole thing off

You got me in a balltrap

Lord, I'm eating outta your hands

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram

My mama don't like you and I ain't surprised

You got poison lips, you got amphetamine eyes

She keeps on saying why don't you find a nice country girl

But Ma I ain't never been in love before

I can't sleep or eat all week

But Friday night I'll be alright

On the midnight trampoline

It's a balltrap

Lord, I'm eating outta your hands

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram.
