Lyrics - Say Hello by Soft Cell

Standing in the door of the pink flamingocrying 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-arounda lost-and-found and not for me -
I fear
I tried to make it workyou in a cocktail-skirt
And me in a suit (wellit 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 youyou see.
Take a look at my face for the last time -
I never knew you - you never knew me.
Say hellogoodbye - say hellowave goodbye.
Under the deep red light
I can see the make-up fliding down.
Heylittle girlyou will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frownwhat 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 youyou 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 timeo.k.?
Just smile and say "hello" -
Say hellothen wave goodbye - say hellothen wave goodbye
Say hellothen wave goodbye - ...
