She bought a ticket from a dotcom airline,
And said “I’m goin' away,”
Sat me down, said “I’m sorry but I must go,”
Well what could I say?
She’s made up her mind and it don’t involve me,
She’s already packed and ready to leave.

Goodbye to Lucy,
She’s going away. (She’s been waiting so long[?])**
Goodbye to Lucy,
She’ll be OK (I’ll be lost when she’s gone)
And I can’t believe I thought that she would stay,
Now she’s not coming back again.

Said goodbye to her friends and left her day job.
Her mum and her dad waved her off at a window in the airport,
They tell me it’s just a fad.
I know that this ain’t good, I would go if I could,
You never gave me the choice,
So I must say goodbye,
She’ll go with every guy,
I hear it all in her voice,

This is not about you, this is all about me,
You’ve gotta give me some time,
Maybe permanently.

Goodbye to Lucy,
She’s going away. (She’s been waiting so long[?])
Goodbye to Lucy,
She’ll be OK (I’ll be lost when she’s gone)
And I can’t believe that I thought that she would stay,

She said I'm done, I'm bored of ordinary
Don’t wanna be a secretary
I don’t wanna live this small time life with you.
I know you're sick of it too, cuz you’re always complaining
You’ll never leave, you don't hate when it's raining.
Hope that one day you’ll feel this way too.

Goodbye to Lucy,
She’s going away.
Goodbye to Lucy,
She’ll be OK.

Goodbye to Lucy,
She’s going away. (She’s been waiting so long[?])
Goodbye to Lucy,
She’ll be OK (I’ll be lost when she’s gone)
Goodbye to Lucy.
Goodbye to Lucy,
She’s going away. (She’s been waiting so long[?])
Goodbye to Lucy,
Goodbye to Lucy,
She’ll be OK (I’ll be lost when she’s gone)
And I can’t believe I thought that she would stay.
