It's been an wonderful evening
Everything turned out just right
But for me, the best time of the evening
Is the time spent goodnight

I love the way you say goodnight
I kinda like the way you mumble
When you fumble for the key
Hmmm, more time for kissing me

I love the way (I love the way)
You say (you say)
Goodnight (the extra ordinary way you say goodnight)
I kinda like the way you linger
With your finger on the bell
Hmmm, more kisses and they're swell

When you say: Gotta get home by twelve
I always say: Let's go
But you can take longer to say goodnight
Than any three others I know

I love the way (I love the way)
You say (you say)
Goodnight (the super duper special way you hold me tight)
I kinda like the way you snuggle
While I juggle with my comb
Hmmm, you're never, never, never going home

Here's the door (here's the key)
Aren't you tired of waiting for little ol' me?
(I could go on waiting all night
As long as while I'm waiting
I keep holding you tight
Cause I love the way) I love the way
(You say) You say
(Goodnight) The way you leave me flying higher than a kite

I kinda like the way you linger
With your finger on the bell
Hmmm, more kisses and they're swell
(I kinda like the way you linger
With your finger on the bell
Hmmm, more kisses and they're swell)

When I say: Gotta get home by twelve
You always say: Let's go
But you can take longer to say good night
Than any three others I know

I love the way (I kinda like the way)
You say (the super special way)
Goodnight
You hug and squeeze me
While you kiss me nighty-night

I like the way you snuggle
While I juggle with my comb
Hmmm, you're never, never, never going home
