Say Hello Wave Goodbye (12" Version / Remastered 2008) Songtext
von Soft Cell

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 joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found, and not for me, I fear
Whoa

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 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 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, has been hell
We′re strangers meeting for the first time, okay?
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, say goodbye
Goodbye

Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Goodbye
