Verse 1
Our love was so complete,
In old Singapore,
By the street called Bugis,
You're all that I adored,
Then the telephone,
Made me feel stone cold, in the night,
Felt it in my bones,
Crushed by a giant stone didn;t feel right,
Verse 2
I asked you what is wrong?
While I paced the floor,
I heard some words like Hong Kong,
Honey tell me more,
Who was on the phone?
You're like a sparrow flown, smiling wide,
There I sat alone,
In a cage of stone, crushed inside
CHORUS
Goodbye to Singapore,
My heart was pleading "no",
Oh don't go
Goodbye to Singapore,
Our love you just can;t throw,
Oh no ... oh no
Instrumental
Verse 2
What conscience have you left?
You're just playing with me,
You left me in a deep cleft,
No words can set me free,
Who was on the phone?
You''re like a sparrow flown, smiling wide,
There I sat alone,
In a cage of stone, crushed inside
Repeat Chorus fade out
