Nouvelle Vague - Say Hello Wave Goodbye lyrics

Standing in 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 never happens again You and I had to be The standing joke of the year You were asleep around A lost and found and not for me, I fear I tried to make it work, you in a co*ktail 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 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 Under the deep red light I can see the makeup sliding 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 housewife 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 Take a look at my face for the last time And I never knew you, you never knew me Say hello goodbye 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, okay Just smile and say hello, say hello, then wave goodbye 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 Then wave goodbye Wave goodbye, goodbye Say hello, then wave goodbye Say, say hello Say hello, then wave goodbye
