Hall & Oates - Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye) Lyrics






It's sad to think we're not gonna be here
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
For some ungodly reason
We just won't let it be

I guess neither one of us
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye

I keep wondering
Wondering
What I'm gonna do without you
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on
Go on together
Living a lie

Everytime I find the nerve
Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving
Memories
Those old memories get in my way
Lord knows it's only me
Only know it's me
That I'm missing you
When it comes to saying good-bye
That a simple word that I just cannot say
There can be no way
There can be no way
This can have a happy ending
No, no
So we just go on
Hurting and pretending
Convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Farewell my love
Goodbye

    Heart and soul man . We all can feel this song . Been to this point so many times in life .

  36. R.... A....

    There are few artists that can hold a candle to Gladys Knight, but Daryl has outdone himself on this one. Beautiful, soulful performance that I keep coming back to over and over again. Kudos, Mr. Hall.

  37. R.... S....

    He turned it into his own.
    4 out of 5🌟

  38. M.... I....

    OMG...Daryl Hall can sing all kinds of genre.

  39. R.... ....

    Gladys was infinitely better.

  40. M.... V....

    Gladys Knight is proud of this rendition, I’m sure! The man has SOUL 💝🎸🎶🎤

  41. L.... A....

    He is so under rated.

  42. D.... T....

    With out a doubt,,the Best Re-Make of a Great Soul song by a white Dude.

  43. R.... D....

    This was beautifully done. I also love Gladys Knights version but somehow you can't beat the raw emotion of a live session.

    R.... D....

    In Filipino Language ..


    IMPAKTO ! ( the " " BEST of the BEST .. "

    keep it up ..

  46. G.... Y....

    Gratitude 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

  47. K.... C....

    Just found this video program music jams from Daryls home . This song is absolutely heart wrenching. I'm a guy that never chokes up and this one got me .

    I found this today and can't stop listening to it . I have a pretty decent home bluetooth player at home . I went to prepare dinner and wife was in other room with this on and I came back into room and she was balling her eyes out . Very very sad but beautifully done .

    Thank you Daryl

  48. G.... W....

    I love Darryl Hall but this just did not impress me at all. It's lacking some harmonizing.

  49. D.... P....

    This is the best music one will listen to on this channel.

  50. P.... B....

    I loved Hall & Oates back in the 70's and listened to them a lot way back then. After seeing Daryl Hall perform from his House with many people, and do songs like this incredible version, I have come to realize that he is really one of the great talents from this generation. Wow, so pretty.

  51. L.... U....

    This man just blows my mind with every song I hear him perform. I’m so glad I’ve found ‘Daryls’ House’. These musicians are so very talented and timeless. Thanks for the memories !! I couldn’t live without my music. ❤️

  52. M.... I....

    excellent version!!

  53. t.... ....

    Bravo Daryl . Great musicians too. Just loved it .

  54. V.... B....

    It´s just wonderful! Daryl s got soul, soul, soul!

  55. J.... D....

    Sheer magic. These guys are just awesome together.

  56. J.... D....

    If I could only choose one singer and musician to listen to for the rest of my life, I do believe it would be Daryl. Just WOW! This was beautiful!

    J.... D....

    So agree. No contest .

  57. T.... E....

    Wow! Awesome version of a beautiful song. Daryl just made it 10x better! I’ve been really inspired by watching these videos. As a novice singer-songwriter I’m knocked out by what Daryl can do on the guitar and with his voice. Just incredible 🙏❤️

  58. K.... M....

    Is there nothing Daryl can’t sing?

  59. S.... M....

    RIP T-Bone...

  60. m.... ....

    This brought tears to my eyes...I've been married for 10 years, and I almost left home last week, but my wife I decided to give ourselves another try...we love each other and have two wonderful kids, but sometimes it gets too hard to stay together...

    m.... ....

    mjl0611 good luck and god bless

    m.... ....

    Fight like HELL....keep your love....don't give up PLEASE .....

  61. J.... M....

    It doesn't get any better than that!

  62. s.... b....

    What an amazing display of compatible professionalism. Hall's voice and the tasteful string arrangement and talent of T-Bone..

  63. K.... K....

    Im in tears

  64. D.... ....

    He is so doggone gorgeous! The glasses the hair of the shirt. Coming up on five decades I’ve been listening to this man. I want to had it any other way.

  65. C.... V....

    Wow. Another gem from Daryl's house.

  66. M.... E....

    GLADYS KNIGHT WOULD BE SO PROUD DAYRL !!!!!

  67. U.... A....

    What makes DH such a master is that he can sing any song at all, and make it sound like it's one of his own. A class act from start to finish.

  68. G.... R....

    sooooo beautifuuuuul!...that wonderful voice on a wonderful acoustic version!..

  69. B.... R....

    Daryl Hall is a National Treasure! His ability to make every song his own is a true gift to us all who enjoy music. His music will be part of my life forever. Thanks Daryl for always being there when I needed you.

  70. D.... D....

    Two nights in a row to end the evening. Where have I been?

  71. C.... V....

    So addicted to Daryl's house! Just great stuff

  72. P.... B....

    Fabulous. What else is there to say?

  73. C.... ....

    168 people have never been deeply in love and lost. This may be the most sad beautiful song I have ever heard. I am Daryl's fan from his disco days, but here he is a mature man speaking from his heart to the world. Thank you Daryl!!

  74. J.... S....

    Love the Acoustic Approach to a song by [the PIP's?]. I'm trying to think of HER name. Oh! Gladys Night and the Pips. This song is a song that I think any singer would love to sing! Thank you, Daryl Hall, for including this song on " Live From Daryl's House" ...M.H. Egan-Sturtevant

  75. S.... S....

    Ohhhhh....T bone....rip....gone too soon ☹

  76. M.... E....

    A country singer named Weatherly wrote this song ,then The GREAT Gladys Night recorded it ,but you know who does it best THANKS DAYRL !!!

  77. M.... E....

    OMG Daryls range is like NO OTHER !!! Unbelievable !!,

  78. f.... a....

    Oh Daryl...tu voz me envuelve...un éxtasis..que pena ...vienes a Chile y no podre verte!!!vil dinero!!

  79. M.... W....

    Daryl now owns this song..I’ve always loved Gladys Knight’s version, she held the title for 4 decades.

  80. R.... A....

    Very Nice!

  81. S.... R....

    you're a master of your own craft...i say leave it to gladys knight on this one.

  82. M.... w....

    Damn I felt this one!

  83. L.... H....

    He gets better and better...<3

  84. s.... e....

    It gets to me Family of five 2 left me and the sister i love

  85. D.... C....

    My God, who hasn't experienced the loss of a deep relationship? This just grips and shakes your core. Incredible.

  86. R.... f....

    That was terrible man😵😵😵

  87. D.... t....

    I'm in tears every time I hear this song, farewell my love..

  88. G.... G....

    This is the first time I’ve heard this song with the lyrics. Absolutely fantastic with Darrell singing! First time I heard this song was by David Sanborn, an instrumental with saxophone doing the lyric line and some light background vocals, it was my favorite song on the Backstreet album. I highly recommend listening to it! https://youtu.be/xG8E1jhiDJk

  89. s.... e....

    So f... Good and true

  90. s.... ....

    dang...daryl!!!

  91. W.... G....

    Heart and soul 🙏

  92. C.... H....

    Es triste pensar que no vamos a estar aquí
    Y se ha llegado al punto
    Donde simplemente no podemos fingirlo
    Por alguna razón impía
    Simplemente no lo dejaremos

    Supongo que ninguno de nosotros
    Ninguno de nosotros quiere ser el primero en decir adiós

    Sigo preguntándome
    Preguntándose
    Lo que voy a hacer sin ti
    Y supongo que usted debe estar preguntando lo mismo también
    Entonces seguimos
    Sigan juntos
    Viviendo una mentira

    Cada vez que encuentro el nervio
    Cada vez que encuentro el descaro de decir que me voy
    Recuerdos
    Esos viejos recuerdos se interponen en mi camino
    Dios sabe que solo soy yo
    Sólo sé que soy yo
    Que te extraño
    Cuando se trata de decir adiós
    Que una simple palabra que no puedo decir
    No puede haber manera
    No puede haber manera
    Esto puede tener un final feliz
    No no
    Así que seguimos
    Hacer daño y fingir
    Convenciéndonos a darle sólo un intento más

    Ninguno de nosotros quiere ser el primero en decir
    Ninguno de nosotros quiere ser el primero en decir
    Hasta la vista mi amor
    Adiós

  93. S.... S....

    Missed live at darryls so tuned in and damm!!! Sure do miss Tbone! Love you guys 😘

  94. M.... P....

    Sorry, it's okay but does not hold a candle to Glady's version

  95. S.... S....

  96. s.... e....

    So good merci

  97. R.... R....
