David Gray Lyrics
"Say Hello Wave Goodbye"

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm going to 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 fear

Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
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 see
Well I've put up with all the scenes,
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 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 an wave goodbye
Say hello an wave goodbye

Under the deep red lights, 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 goin cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife, who'll give me the steady life
And not keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me, please
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look in my face, for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello an wave goodbye
Say hello an wave goodbye
Say hello an wave goodbye

Oh oh oh...
Say hello, wave goodbye
Say hello an wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye
