Текст песни Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Jools Holland

Standin' in the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain,
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it never happens again,
You and I it had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a sleep around, a lost and found and not for me I fear.

I tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit well it just wasn't me,
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess, so insecure you seem,
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,
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, wave goodbye.

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin' down,
Hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
What about me, well I'll find someone that's not goin' cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and won't keep going off the rails,

Take your hands off me,
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, wave goodbye.

We've been involved for quite a while now
And to keep you secret has been hell
We're strangers meeting for the first time, ok?
Just smile and say 'hello'

Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
