It's been an wonderful evening Everything turned out just right But for me, the best time of the evening Is the time spent goodnight I love the way you say goodnight I kinda like the way you mumble When you fumble for the key Hmmm, more time for kissing me I love the way (I love the way) You say (you say) Goodnight (the extra ordinary way you say goodnight) I kinda like the way you linger With your finger on the bell Hmmm, more kisses and they're swell When you say: Gotta get home by twelve I always say: Let's go But you can take longer to say goodnight Than any three others I know I love the way (I love the way) You say (you say) Goodnight (the super duper special way you hold me tight) I kinda like the way you snuggle While I juggle with my comb Hmmm, you're never, never, never going home Here's the door (here's the key) Aren't you tired of waiting for little ol' me? (I could go on waiting all night As long as while I'm waiting I keep holding you tight Cause I love the way) I love the way (You say) You say (Goodnight) The way you leave me flying higher than a kite I kinda like the way you linger With your finger on the bell Hmmm, more kisses and they're swell (I kinda like the way you linger With your finger on the bell Hmmm, more kisses and they're swell) When I say: Gotta get home by twelve You always say: Let's go But you can take longer to say good night Than any three others I know I love the way (I kinda like the way) You say (the super special way) Goodnight You hug and squeeze me While you kiss me nighty-night I like the way you snuggle While I juggle with my comb Hmmm, you're never, never, never going home
