Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (The Long 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 going to 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 you're 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 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

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 secret has been hell

We're strangers meeting for the first time O.K.?

Just smile and say hello

Say hello then wave goodbye

Goodbye
