2 ContributorsBye Bye Baby (Not Tonight) LyricsYeah, girl, I haven't seen you in years
For all the tears you stole my heart
Yeah, girl, you chose your path
We cried and we laugh, now here you are

Well, you know there's a million things
I wanna say to you and I'm not holding back
Hey, you, I'm gonna break with the past
And I'm glad that you ask how I'm feeling

I see the years of being real kind to you
And it's nice that we shared the same world view
We were wild back then, hope you'll understand
I can be your friend but I'm not your man

Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight, so long, girl
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight

So now with the sun going down
How are we playing this out?
I think we're caught in a trap
Not me, I've knocked on his door, I've been here before
And it's never ending right

By the teenage world we were flying high then
But we're older now, try to understand
I might be lonely enough but I ain't your man

Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight, so long, girl
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight

Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight, so long, girl
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight

I wonder what it might have been
Had we stayed in love back then
No, we didn't
And we're different spirit's now

So saying your thoughts are low
Well, I'm sure you'll be okay
And if I never see you again
Bye, bye, baby

I see the years of being real kind to you
And I'm different now
You better understand that I'm not your man
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight, so long, girl
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight, so long, girl

Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonight, I'm not your man
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Not tonightEmbed
