Standing in 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 neverHappens again
You and I
It had to be
The standing joke of the yearYou were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear
I tried to make it workYou in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit
(Well it just wasn't me)
You're used to wearing lessAnd now you're life's a mess
So insecure you see
I put up with all the scenes
And this is one sceneThat's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my faceFor the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello GoodbyeSay hello wave goodbye
Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down
Hey little girl you will always make upSo take off that unbecoming frown
What about me - well
I'll find someone
That's not going cheap in the salesA nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails
Take your hands off meI don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew youYou never knew me
Say hello Goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye
We've been involvedFor quite a while now
And to keep you secret has been hell
We're strangers meeting for the first time O.K.?
Just smile and say helloSay hello then wave goodbye
Goodbye
