Biography [link]
Thompson was born in Waco, Texas, but raised in Oklahoma City.[1] He started singing solos in the local church choir at the age of eight. He was noticed by the first R&B group signed by Jive Records (ador'), which consisted of William Walton, Eric Cuffee, and Patrick Sanders who were also from Waco. Hi-Five signed with Jive Records in 1990. The quintet's self-titled debut album went multi-platinum and created several hits, including "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)", "I Can't Wait Another Minute", and "Just Another Girlfriend".[2]
In 1992, the group released their second album Keep It Goin' On, with "She's Playing Hard to Get" and "Quality Time". Their third album Faithful appeared in 1993. Thompson's solo debut, Sexsational, was released on Giant Records in 1995. Thompson formed his own record label, N'Depth, and re-incarnated Hi-Five with four new members. The group's new album, The Return, was released in 2006.

Oooohhh
Ohhhh
[Verse 1:]
I had a problem and I wasn't aware
I neglected love that we once shared, nooo
So I tried real hard to be prepared
'Cause I knew you felt as though I did not care
So I'll go run...
[Chorus:]
So I'll go run and hide (so I don't)
So I don't see those goodbye eyes
Even though I brought it on myself, I just don't wanna see the pain
I don't feel much to cry
So don't you show those goodbye eyes
The words end all the same
[Verse 2:]
Oh hey
Now I close the door hmmm, to be in solitare
Get myself together to show you how much I care
So if you don't accept it
Don't worry you're not to blame
Cause I showed her love before, now I feel so ashamed
So I'll go run...
[Chorus:]
So I'll go run and hide
So I don't see those goodbye eyes
Even though I brought it on myself, I just don't wanna see the pain
I don't feel much to cry (no I don't)
So don't you show those goodbye eyes
The words end all the same
Tell me a chance is in the plans (oh, tell me baby)
I promise I'll be a better man (a man)
I played myself once before but never again
Don't think I would be the fool to neglect you once again
[Chorus: x2]
So I'll go run and hide
So I don't see those goodbye eyes
Even though I brought it on myself, I just don't wanna see the pain
I don't feel much to cry (no I don't)
So don't you show those goodbye eyes
The words end all the same
I get on my hands and knees, I just don't wanna see those goodbye eyes
So I'll go run and hide.
So I'll go run and hide.
I don't wanna see those goodbye eyes...
Don't show me
Those goodbye eyes
