Relationships Lyrics

If you could have relationships
Written on a timetable
If you could separate yourself
Oh we do keep contemplating?
While all the hearts a-sinking?
Say your goodybye's
Ohhh
If you could have relationships
Ticker on your pocket watch
If you could break off from the chink and
Oh, woooo
Say your goodbyes
Say your goodbye
Say your goodbyes!

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

If you could have relationships
And end them with a simple hand shake
If you could tear yourself away
'Cause no one's lonely having fun girl
A mass of bodies keep you company
Ohh
Say your goodbyes
Oh, if you could have relationships
A ticker on your pocket watch
If you could break off from the chick and
Oh!
Wooo
Say your goodbyes
Say your goodbyes
Say your goodbyes!

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

*get funky (instrumental)*

Don't stop
Don't stop

Give it up
It's time to leave
Give it up
It's time to leave
Ohh wooo

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

If you could have relationships
And end them with a simple hand shake
Would you?

If you could have relationships
And end them with a simple hand shake
Would you?
Would you?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

*** <- these are where it has been corrected/added to (from what I hear, not definite though)

Verse 1:

If you could have relationships Written on a timetable If you could separate yourself Oh why do we keep contemplating Why are all the hearts still sinking (still not sure about this) Say your goodybye's Ohhh If you could have relationships Ticking on your pocket watch If you could break off from the chain gang Oh, woooo Say your goodbyes Say your goodbye Say your goodbyes!

Chorus:

Give it up It's time to leave And I'm on the way To start again girl *** No stopping me No stopping me, no

Verse 2:

If you could have relationships Ending with a simple hand shake If you could tear yourself away 'Cause no one's lonely having fun girl A mass of bodies keep you company Ohh Say your goodbyes Oh, if you could have relationships Ticking on your pocket watch If you could break off from the chain gang Oh! Wooo Say your goodbyes Say your goodbyes Say your goodbyes!

Outro:

If you could have relationships Ending with a simple hand shake Would you?

If you could have relationships Ending with a simple hand shake Would you? Would you?
