David Gray - Say Hello Wave Goodbye lyrics

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain

Here was a kind of so-so love

And I'm going to 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 I found me ,I fear

Take your hands off me, hey

I don't belong to you, you see

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 use to wearing less, and now your life's a mess

So insecure you see

well I've put up with all the scenes,

This is one scene thats goin to be played my way

Take your hands off me, please

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 lights, 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 goin cheap in the sales

A nice little housewife, who'll give me the steady life

And not keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me, please

I don't belong to you, you see

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

Oh oh oh...

Say hello, wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello, wave goodbye

Goodbye
