"Neither One Of Us"
(Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)

(As recorded by Gladys Knight & The Pips)
JIM WEATHERLY

It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point where we just can't fake it
But for some ungodly reason we just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye.

I keep wondering what I'll do without you
And I guess you must be wondering that same thing too
So we go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye.

Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving
Old melodies get in the way
Lord knows it's only me that I'm deceiving
When it comes to saying goodbye that's a world I just can't say.

There can be no way this can have a happy ending
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Farwell my love, goodbye.
