[Verse 1: JoJo | K-Ci]

Lately, I've had the strangest feeling, oh yeah

With no vivid reason here to find

But yet the thought of losing you's been hanging

Around my mind ('round my mind)

K-Ci, sing it, sing it

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume

And with you say no special place to go

But when I ask will you be coming back soon

You don't know, never know (Whoa, oh)

[Chorus: JoJo | K-Ci]

I'm a man of many wishes

Hope my premonition misses

But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide

'Cause they always start to cry, yeah, yeah, baby, well, well

'Cause this time could mean good—, goodbye

Bye-bye, farewell, bye, farewell, farewell

Oh, you ought to tell me

[Verse 2: JoJo | K-Ci]

Lately I've been staring in the mirror, oh yeah

Very slowly picking me apart

Says, I'm trying to tell myself that I have no reason

With your heart, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just the other night while you were sleeping, ha

I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name

But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping

You just say that nothing changed (Well, well, yeah)

[Chorus: JoJo | K-Ci | Both]

I'm a man of many wishes

I hope my premonition misses (Ooh yeah)

But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide

'Cause they al— (Always) —ways (Always) start (Start) to cry, yeah

Yes, they do (Yes, they do)

Yes, they do (Yes, they do)

'Cause this time could, could mean goodbye

It could mean goodbye (It could mean goodbye)

My tears could mean goodbye
