Luther Vandross — How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye

[Verse 1: Dionne Warwick + Luther Vandross] Here we are so close to the end now Still holding on, we try and pretend now Clinging to love we both know is dying It's dying We've tried and tried to find us a way out But darling, all our dreams have now all been played out Still we go on hopelessly trying [Chorus: Dionne Warwick + Luther Vandross + both] But how many times can we say goodbye? And how many times can we see love die? And how many times can we give it one more try? Before we really say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye [Verse 2: Dionne Warwick + Luther Vandross] We're so in love but wrong for each other Each hurt that heals brings on another Both of us used, and both of us using Hey hey, darling, it's time to stop pretending There's just no way to rewrite our ending We're caught in this game And we know we're both losing [Chorus: Dionne Warwick + Luther Vandross + both] But how many times can we say goodbye? Hey, how many times can we live a lie? Tell me how many times can we give it one more try? (One more) Before we really say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye [Bridge: Dionne Warwick + Luther Vandross + both] How many times can we breakup and makeup? Both of our hearts refusing to wake up Just can't go on and on Living a lie, though I'll always love you [Chorus: Dionne Warwick + Luther Vandross + both] How many times can we say goodbye? And how many times can we live this lie? How many times can we give it one more try? How many time before we really say goodbye Bye-bye, goodbye, bye-bye, goodbye Bye-buh-buh-bye-bye-bye, goodbye, goodbye
