1
Standin' in the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna 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 feel
Take your hands off me, hey
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 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 put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene that's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me, hey
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 and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light I can see the make up slidin' 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 a steady life and not keep going off the rails
Take your hands off me, hey
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 and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
We were born before the waves
Who are we to understand?
We were born before the waves
Say goodbye
Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say goodbye
Get on the train, train, train
And say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna 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 feel
Take your hands off me, hey
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 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 put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene that's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me, hey
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 and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light I can see the make up slidin' down

Say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
We were born before the waves
Who are we to understand?
We were born before the waves
Say goodbye
Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say goodbye
Get on the train, train, train
And say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling

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 at 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 you're life's a mess So insecure, you see Well I've put up with all the scenes And this is one scene that's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me, please I don't belong to you, you see And take a look at my face for the last time I never knew you, you never knew me Say hello, goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red lights I can see the makeup 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 going 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 at my face for the last time I never knew you, you never knew me Say hello, goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello, wave goodbye Goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye
We were born before the wind Who are we to understand We were born before the wind Say goodbye Through the rain, hail, sleet, and snow Say goodbye Get on the train Say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye In the wind and the rain, now, darling Say goodbye In the wind and the rain, now, darling
