"Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" lyrics

"Say Hello, Wave Goodbye"
(originally by 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, yeah
Had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a sleep-around
A lost and found, and not for me, I fear

Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see

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
Now your life's a mess
So insecure, you see

I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene
That's gonna 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
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

Take your hands off me, oh
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
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Goodbye
