say hello wave goodbye

standing at the door of the pink flamingo

crying in the rain

it was a kind of so-so love

and i'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again

you and i

it had to be

the standing joke of the year

you were a run-around

a lost-and-found

and not for me

i feel

take your hands off me

hey

i don't belong to you

you see

and take a look in 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 put up with all the scenes

and this is one scene

that's going to be played my way

take your hands off me

hey

i don't belong to you

you see

and take a look in 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 light 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 going cheap in the sales

a nice little housewife

who'll give me a steady life

and not keep going off the rails

take your hands off me

hey

i don't belong to you

you see

and take a look in 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

wave goodbye

say hello and wave goodbye

say hello and wave goodbye

say hello

wave goodbye

goodbye

say goodbye

say goodbye

we were born before the whale

who are we to understand

we were born before the whale

say goodbye

through the rain

hail

sleet and snow

say goodbye

get on the train

train

train

say goodbye

say goodbye

say goodbye

say goodbye

in the wind and the rain now

darling

say goodbye

in the wind and the rain now

darling
