Soft Cell - Say Hello lyrics

Standing in 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 toke 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 wearinq 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 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 fliding 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 house-wife 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. . . .

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

O.k.?

Just smile and say "hello" -

Say hello

Then wave goodbye - say hello

Then wave goodbye

Say hello

Then wave goodbye - ...
