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

Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money, too
Well, you know you love me, baby
Still you tell me, maybe
That some day, well, I'll be true

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

Well, when Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me, and you tell me boldly
That someday, well, I'll be true

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

Well, that'll be the day
Yeah, that'll be the day
Well, that'll be the day
Yeah, that'll be the day
Well, that'll be the day
Yeah, that'll be the day
Well, that'll be the day
Yeah, that'll be the day
