Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

Standin' at 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 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 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 goin' 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 slidin' 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 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, wave goodbye

Goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

We were born before the wind

Who are we to understand?

We were born before the wind

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
