Soft Cell – Say Hello, Wave Goodbye lyrics
Standing in 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 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 fearI 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 going to be played my wayTake 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 goodbyeUnder the deep red light
I can see the makeup 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 railsTake 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 goodbyeWe’ve been involved
For quite a while now
And to keep you secret has been hell
We’re strangers meeting for the first time, okay?
Just smile and say hello
Say hello then wave goodbyeSay hello then wave goodbye (x4)
Say hello wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello say goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbyeGoodbye…
