SAY HELLO, WAVE GOODBYE 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 toke 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 wearinq 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 fliding 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 house-wife 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. . . . We've been involved for quite a while now, And to keep you secret has been hell. We're strangers meeting for the first time, o.k.? Just smile and say "hello" - Say hello, then wave goodbye - say hello, then wave goodbye, Say hello, then wave goodbye - ...
