No Goodbyes was the Dutch entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 in Stockholm performed by Linda Wagenmakers.
The song is an up-tempo number, with Linda telling a former lover that their relationship is over. She sings that she wants "no more questions, no more lies", as well as "No more cheating", suggesting that the cause of the breakup is a long-standing one. The lover appears to have told her that there was nothing wrong at various points - comments she dismisses out of hand, before telling him that she wants "No goodbyes" and a clean break.
It was performed second following Israel and preceding the United Kingdom. At the close of voting, it finished in 13th place with 40 points.
Lyrics[]
Don't you know what you are doing to me?
This ain't the way to work things out
Tell me something that I've never heard before
We gotta get off this crazy roundabout
No more doubting, no more fears
No more cheating, no more tears
No more questions, no more lies
No farewells, no goodbyes
No goodbyes
I don't understand why you keep saying:
"Oh, everything's just fine, there's nothing wrong"
Something's been happening that we cannot ignore
It's time for us to sing a different song
No more doubting, no more fears
No more cheating, no more tears
No more questions, no more lies
No farewells, no goodbyes
No goodbyes
Oh, don't say anything you'll wish you hadn't said
Just say nothing at all (say nothing at all)
'Cause I know love will grow when you go
Don't say goodbye, oh no
Don't say goodbye, no goodbyes
(No goodbyes)
Don't say anything you'll wish you hadn't said, my baby
(No goodbyes)
Oh no, oh no, no
(Yeah...)
No farewells, no goodbyes
