[Intro: Melvin Franklin]
Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom
[Hook: The Temptations & Elbridge Al Bryant]
Farewell, my love
Farewell, my love
I love you more than anything
No one knows the good you bring
To me
[Verse 1: Paul Williams]
But I've got to set you free. (Boo-oo)
I've just got to set you free. (Boo-oo)

[Verse 2 : Elbridge Al Bryant & The Temptations]
Aww, goodbye, (Goodbye) my love (My love)
I'm gonna cry, (Gonna cry) my love (My love)
The vow of love you broken
The law of love has spoken
To you

[Verse 3 : Paul Williams]
Oh, why couldn't you be true? (Why couldn't you be true?)
Why couldn't you be true? (Why couldn't you be true?)

[Bridge : Paul Williams]
So long, baby, you know, it's so hard
It's really hard to find someone in this wide world, who's really true
I guess it's just meant for me to be unhappy
But I believe, I really do believe that somewhere someone is waiting for me
[Verse 4 : Elbridge Al Bryant]
Aww, she's there, (She's there) my love (My love)
Somewhere, (Somewhere) my love (My love)
Someone who cares
And still be there
With me

[Verse 5 : Paul Williams & Melvin Franklin]
Oh, my darling can't you see? (Boo-oo)
How wonderful it would be, yeah (Boo-oo)

[Hook : The Temptations]
Farewell, to you
Farewell, my love

[Outro : Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
We're Through We're through
