Maybe I’ve stuck around too long
Maybe I’m right more than I’m wrong
Maybe my fight just ain’t as strong
As it should be
Maybe I’m just a little rough
Maybe a little’s not enough
Maybe I’m just not quite as tough
As I could be
​
This party’s getting kinda lame
And you’re just talking to the wall
And all your stories sound the same
If I’ve heard one then I’ve heard em all
​
So kiss me goodbye
Farewell fall guy
I know I’ll get by
So kiss me goodbye
​
Sometimes you cut me down to size
Sometimes I’m quick to criticize
Sometimes there’s truth inside the lies
I tell myself
I need to feel like i’m alive
I need a chance to fantasize
I need those stomach butterflies
I need some help
​
This party’s getting kind of lame
Too bad the cool kids all have gone
And all the songs still sound the same
So put a better record on
​
And kiss me goodbye
Farewell fall guy
I know I’ll get by
So kiss me good bye
​
This party’s over anyway
And you're still dancing in the hall
And all the steps still look the same
Play it safe and you'll never fall
​
And kiss me goodbye
Farewell fall guy
I know I’ll get by
So kiss me good bye
