Lyrics

Standing at the door of the pink flamingo
Crying 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, please
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, and it just wasn't me
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess
So insecure you seem

I put up with all the scenes
This is one scene
That's goin to be played my way

Take your hands off me, please
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
Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light
I can see the make up sliding down
Well hey little girl, you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown

As for me well, I'll find some one
Who's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little house wife, who'll give me a 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 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 wind
Who were we to understand
We were born before the wind
Say goodbye

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say good bye
Get on the train, the train, the train
To say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain my darling

Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain my darling..
