Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Woah, woah, Kiss Me Goodbye
(Kiss Me Goodbye)
(Make you mine, tonight)
(Don't ask me why)
(Be all right!)
Woah, woah, woah!
Woah, woah, woah!
[Verse 1]
Stay, I want you to stay
At least for today
You know that I'm sentimental
Now, you listen to me
'Cause I'm gonna be
The one that will breaking your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to be all alone (all alone)
I need to walk on my own (on my own)
Thank you for all that you've done
I will keep you always in my heart
And my mind
[Chorus]
Kiss Me Goodbye
I don't know, if I wanna make you mine, tonight
Don't ask me why
'Cause I know, that you're gonna be all right
Kiss Me Goodbye
I don't know, if I wanna make you mine, tonight
Don't ask me why
'Cause I know, that you're gonna be all right
Woah, woah, woah!
Woah, woah, woah!
Kiss Me Goodbye
[Verse 2]
Cry, now you're gonna cry
And I can't deny
It's hard to say goodbye, baby
Hand, just give me your hand
You will understand
You couldn't be my gold angel

Trivia[]
- Kiss Me Goodbye was featured in the 2001 movie Initial D Third Stage.
- The song was not supposed to be used in the movie. According to the credits, it was supposed to be used "Crazy Night" by Boys Band, song featured in the same single as Kiss Me Goodbye; but it was changed in the last minute. Because of this, Kiss Me Goodbye was not listed in the credits.
- The acapella version featured in the EBM Single is 2:33. However, the one featured in Eurobeat Masters Singles: Pink Collection 1 album is 9 minutes long because this features the vocals with reverb and the raw version of them. This was an accident at the moment of making the album.
