Bye-bye, you'll be back tomorrow morning
By and by, but when you left without a warning
You lied, tell me how's he gonna save himself
When everybody says
Bye-bye

Every man can try and be an island
Surround himself with water and sand
But he can't stop the sun and the rain
Ain't easy to explain or understand
Like this friend of mine, we'll call him a loner
'Cause he never seems to need nobody's help
But maybe come some lonely night,
when he ain't feeling right
Where's he go
When there's no one else
'Cause you've said

Bye-bye, you'll be back tomorrow morning
By and by, but when you left without a warning
You lied, tell me how's he gonna save himself
When everybody says
Bye-bye

If everybody had someone to lean on
Someone who would always be true
Someone to share your lonely times
Someone who was always kind to you
Like this friend of mine, we'll call him courageos
"Cause his life ain't easy, and I've got the proof
While his many lovers run away
Go to live and lie another day
You can bet he tells the truth
When he says

Bye-bye, I'll be back tomorrow morning
By and by, and if I leave without a warning
Don't you cry, I'll be here to help you survive it
When everybody says bye-bye
