Stevens, Ray - I'm Kissing You Goodbye Lyrics






Well, the first time we met dear, you flashed that come on smile
Your steamy eyed glances nearly drove me wild
So we drove out to the country and parked beneath the stars
When you fogged up my windshield and set my soul afire

Well, you moved into my place that very same night
I was so happy it was love at first sight

But one day I came home early the very next week
Found a man in my closet said he's playing hide and seek
Now I may be stupid but I'll never understand
Why he was playing hide and seek with all his clothes in his hand

So get your feet off of my table get shoes from under my bed
Get your hat off of my hat rack, put it on your head
Get your coat out of my closet, put it on your back
Get your Ferlin Husky records, darlin', it's time for you to pack

Get your arms from around me - it ain't no use to try
Get your tongue out of my mouth cause I'm kissing you goodbye

[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth - and wipe off that silly grin
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth - ain't no telling where it's been
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth - don't try that again
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth...
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Git yer tongue outta my mouf!

Lets just say adios with a kiss and a sigh
Get your tongue outta my mouth cause I'm kissing you goodbye

Well the flame has flickered and the passion has cooled
I hate to lose you darling but I won't be fooled
'Cause you just can't be true dear, you're spreading it around
You've shattered all that mattered, gonna have to put you down

Get your dog outta my dog house, your cat outta my tree
Get your bird outta my bird cage, I'm settin' you free
Get your toothbrush outta ma bathroom, your stockins off my line
Get your curlers off offa dresser, darlin', you ain't no friend of mine

Get your arms from around me - I won't believe your lies
Get your tongue outta my mouth, 'cause I'm kissin' you goodbye

[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth - and wipe off that silly grin
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth - ain't no telling where it's been
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth - don't try that again
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Outta my mouth...
[Singers:] Get your tongue... [Ray:] Git yer tongue outta my mouf!

Lets just say adios with a kiss and a sigh
Get your tongue outta of my mouth, 'cause I'm kissin' you goodbye!

[Singers:] Get your tongue out of my mouth
[Ray:] Come on now!

  5. P.... S....

    I’ve got 2 songs on a album gitarzan and ahah the Arab they are both funny.we don’t hear of ray any more where is ray these days.

  6. A.... S....

    This song was written by Tanya Tucker.

  7. j.... c....

    Tad naughty; but very funny!

  8. A.... S....

    3 women have actually dine this sings; Brenda Lee, Lorrie Morgan & Tanya Tucker. It was written in 2011.

  9. �.... L....

    *i brought myself here.. cum check my playlist out.. n let me **-jam-** my toung down ya throat im black*

  10. A.... S....

    This was written by Garth Brooks in 1991.

  11. A.... S....

    He first recorded this song in 1997.

  12. w.... ....

    God Bless Ray Stevens...thanks for so many great songs...

  13. E.... l....

    is this tim hardin,if so the last commit is for you

  14. E.... l....

    if this is tim ha_d_in,you got one coming like you aint never had,and no you cannot change it,cause you were wrong,you done went too far,the almighty will cut you down to size,i will pray for it every night.

  15. E.... l....

    you got one coming like you aint never had,

  16. M.... p....

    What is this??? not hating

  17. L.... F....

    I don't care who wrote it. I just like it. I'm old. But I guess I'm not old enough to argue over who first said (get your toung out of my mouth cos I'm kissing you goodbye)

  18. P.... S....

    Ray Steven is the BEST !!!!!

  19. F.... H....

    The man who put the 'cunt' into country music. Idiot. Dang!.

  20. D.... F....

    I heard this by JEFF DANIELS...he said he wrote it..

    D.... F....

    http://www.allmusic.com/song/baby-take-your-tongue-outta-my-mouth-im-kissin-you-gbye-mt0046123407
    BUT it's on Ray's Album: "He Thinks He's Ray Stevens"(1985) And on that album he's shown as the composer so....

    D.... F....

    no you heard Jeff Daniels sing a song called "Baby, Take your tongue out of my mouth.. I'm kissing you goodbye" He never sang THIS song nor did he write it

    D.... F....

    Waylon Jennings and John Denver both also wrote songs with similar titles/refrains. It seems to be a popular sentiment among country artists!

    D.... F....

    what he wrote is different though

  21. N.... M....

    Ellen brought me here xD

    N.... M....

    +Nina Montgomery me too

    N.... M....

    +Nina Montgomery Same here haha :)

    N.... M....

    Who is Ellen?

  22. J.... B....

    This isn't Ray Stevens....

    J.... B....

    Yes it is. I forgot the name of the record but I, at one time, had a copy of it. 

    J.... B....

    @Leo Hale The album was called, "He Thinks He's Ray Stevens"

    J.... B....

    Yes it is Ray Stevens.

    J.... B....

    you may be right... a much younger  Ray

    J.... B....

    +JonB It certainly is Ray Stevens.

  23. c.... ....

    I'd like to hear a woman cover this song...some of the lines would gain a double meaning (get your dog outta my doghouse, your cat outta my tree, your bird outta my birdcage) hehe

  24. g.... ....

    I know you will all think I am crazy,But John Denver wrote and sang this.Ray changed his words but,If you listen to the Cd Of the Harbor Lights concert,You will hear how he wrote it,and sang it!Both do a Great job.

    g.... ....

    Nope.. 2 completely different songs... Listen to them both.. the only thing they have close to being in common is the line "get your tongue out of my mouth cause I'm kissing you goodbye"... The tune is totally different in both

    g.... ....

    Actually, Waylon Jennings wrote it.

  25. H.... W....
