The Only Good Thing (You Ever Said Was Goodbye)
Joan Jett And The Blackhearts


I heard the back door slam
An' you were goin' for good an' I didn't give a damn oh baby
I knew I'd do just fine
Yeah
I looked around for my cash
There was a couple twenty missin' I said Imagine that oh baby
You musta thought I was blind

You know that
I gave it all to you
Promises I followed through
What the hell did I see in you

The only good thing you ever said was goodbye
Now you're gone you won't see me cry
I won't miss you no not I
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye

I'm throwin' out all the things that you had
Given me for Christmas though I paid for every one myself
I'm gonna be alright
I saw the writing on the wall
You were stayin' out all night an' didn't even call
Oh baby
It wasn't worth the fight no way

Don't know why it feels so strange
You're the same nothing ever changed
I know I only got myself to blame

The only good thing you ever said was goodbye who-huh
Now your're gone you won't see me cry
I won't miss you no not I
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye

You only told me lies
Only phony alibies
I invented what I wanted in your eyes

The only good thing you ever said was goodbye
Now you're gone you won't see me cry
I won't miss you no not I
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye
The only good thing you every said was goodbye who-huh
Was a time when I woulda died
I ain't kiddin' I don't lie
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye

(The only good thing, you ever said was goodbye)
(The only good thing, you ever said was goodbye)
(The only good thing, you ever said was goodbye)
