Gilbert O'sullivan - Hello, It's Goodbye lyrics

Take off your coat pull up a chair Sit next to me not over there How about a drink what would you like Would a scotch on the rocks be alright Then as the lights invariably dim I gently touch your thigh And before you know it, hello it's goodbye. You tell me that you're not that type And i'm not saying that you're not right All that i'm asking is a chance To do more with you than just holding hands This is the story of my life Every chance i get to try Before you know it, hello it's goodbye. Now i'm not saying that i'm upset But for all the pleasure that i can get I might just as well go join a monastery (just as well join a monastery) I'm not saying that i'm upset But for all the pleasure that i've been getting I might just as well go join a monastery (just as well join a monastery). Sometimes i think i'm up against Something that doesn't make much sense Like when i'm with a girl like you I'd do everything a man should do Then when i feel the time is right I say no need to be shy And before you know it hello it's goodbye.
