I should tell you you're a fine thing
Beautiful and refine thing
Don't have to tell you, you know, oh-oh-oh-oh
I should tell you I'm a juvenile
When you get that evil smile
Don't have to tell you, you know

And I know well enough this is going nowhere
(bet you don't know what love is)
Are you trying to show, show how much
You care
(bet you don't know what love is)

Chorus:
Might as well say goodnight say
Goodnight, Irene
Might as well say goodnight say
Goodnight, Irene

So, you're looking like a movie star
In those fancy threads and brand new car
Don't have to say it, you know, oh-oh-oh-oh

Love and passion but with no strings
I can live without your one night fling
Don't have to tell you, you know

Well I don't wanna bore you with
What I mean
(bet you don't know what love is)

Might as well say goodnight say
Goodnight, Irene
Might as well say goodnight say
Goodnight, Irene

Bridge:
Won't you bend a little
You could bend a little, Irene
Aah - aah, goodnight
You could bend a little, Irene

Kisses sweeter than wild honey
Just a taste and I'm all funny inside
Don't have to tell you, you know

And I know well enough this is going nowhere
(bet you don't know what love is)
Now are you just trying to show, show how
Much you care
(bet you don't know what love is)
