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
