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 runaround, a lost and found and not for me, I feel
Take your hands off me, hee_____ey
I don’t belong to you, you see_______
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 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
[Repeat Chorus]
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
[Repeat Chorus]
Say hello and wave goodbye________
Say hello and wave goodbye________
