Say Hello Wave Goodbye
David Gray
Standing at the door of the pink flamingo crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a run around, a lost and found
And not for me, I fear
Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face, for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit, but it just wasn't me
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess
So insecure you see
Well I've put up with all the scenes
This is one scene that's goin to be played my way
Take your hands off me, please
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look at my face, for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red lights, I can see the make-up sliding down
Well hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
As for me well, I'll find someone who's not goin cheap in thesales
A nice little housewife, who'll give me the steady life
And not keep going off the rails
Take your hands off me, please
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face, for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Oh oh oh
Say hello, wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye
