Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Extended Version) - Soft Cell

Standin' 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 doesn't happen again

You and I had to be

The standing joke of the year

You were a run around

A lost and found

And not for me I feel

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

We tried to make it work

You in a cocktail skirt

And me in a suit

But it just wasn't me

You're used to wearing less

And now your life's a mess

So insecure you seem

Well I put up with all the scenes

And this is one scene

That's goin' to be played my way

Take your hands

Off me, please

I don't belong to you, you say

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 light

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 going cheap

In the sales

A nice little house wife

Who'll give me a steady life

And not keep going off the rails

Take your hands

Off me, please

I don't belong to you, you say

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

Say hello and wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello, wave goodbye

Goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

We were born before the wind

Who were we to understand

We were born before the wind

Say goodbye

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow

Say good bye

And I'm trying, trying, trying

To say goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain my darling

Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain my darling
