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, it 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 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 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 and wave goodbye Say hello, wave goodbye Goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye
We were born before the whale Who are we to understand We were born before the whale Say goodbye
Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow Say goodbye Get on the train, train, 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
