The Temptations - Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To 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

And I keep wondering, wondering what I'd do without you, baby
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on, go on together, living a lie, yeah
'Cause neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye

Every time I find the nerve to say I'm leavin'
Those old memories, those old memories get in my way
My way, my way, yeah

Oh, oh, Lord knows it's only me
He knows it's only 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
No way this can have a happy ending, oh no, ooh

So we just go on, hurting and pretending
And, and convincing myself to give it one more try, try, baby
Just give it 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
