Never Can Say Goodbye (Live at The Forum, August 26, 1972)

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Even though the pain and heartaches seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I tried and tried to hide my feelings, they always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me and I always have to say no
Tell me why (Tell me why) is it so (Is it so)
That I

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Every time I think I’ve had enough and start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration piercing me right to the core
It says, "Turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more"
Tell me why (Tell me why) is it so (Is it so)
Don't wanna let you go

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
I never can say goodbye, girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Yeah
(Don’t wanna let you go, girl)
I never can say goodbye
(No no no, no no no, no no no)
I got to find you, I never can say goodbye, girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
No
(Don't wanna let you go, girl)
I never can say goodbye
(No no no, no no no, no no no)

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin'
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up
Can’t do with you or without
Tell me why (Tell me why) is it so (Is it so)
Don’t wanna let you go

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
I never can say goodbye, girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
No
(Hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye
(No no no, no no no, no no no)
I got to find you, I never can say goodbye, girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
No
(Hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye
(No no no, no no no, no no no)
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Yeah
(Hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye
(No no no, no no no, no no no)
I got to find you, I don't know, oh yeah
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
I never could say
(Hey, baby)
(No no no, no no no, no no no)

[Outro: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
Never could say goodbye
Say goodbye
Singing goodbye
Singing goodbye
We’re singing goodbye
I never can say goodbye, girl
I'm never gonna say goodbye, baby
I got to find you, I never can say goodbye, girl
I'm never gonna say goodbye, baby
Oh, oh, I never can say goodbye

I got to find you, I never can say goodbye, girl, oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye, girl
I’m never gonna say goodbye, baby
I got to find you, I never can say goodbye, yeah

Hey, I never can say goodbye, girl
I'm never gonna say goodbye, baby
I got to find you, I never can say goodbye, yeah, oh
