Lyrics
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 never happens again
You and i, it had to be the, standing joke of the year
You were a sleeparound, 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 see
I put up with all the scenes, and this is one scene that`s gonna 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 sliding 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 going 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 a secret, it has been hell
We're strangers, meeting for the first time, ok? Just smile and say hello...
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye...
