Soft Cell - Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Live) Lyrics

Standing 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 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

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 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

Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup
Sliding down

Little girl you
Will always make up
So take off that
Unbecoming frown

What about me?
Well, I'll find someone
Who's not going cheap
In the sales

A nice little housewife
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
My God, 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, wave goodbye

Say hello, say goodbye
Say hello, say goodbye
Say hello, say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Say hello
Say hello
