It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
G G/F# C/G D/A G G/F# C/G D/A
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
G G/F# C/G D/A G G/F# C/G D/A
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me I feel,
Em G Bm C D
Take your hands off me, hey,
Em G Bm C D
I don't belong to you, you see,
Em G Bm C D
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
Em Em/F# G
I never knew you, you never knew me,
Bm C D G G/F#
Say hello goodbye,
C D G G/F# C D
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,
I put up with all the scenes, this is one scene
that's goin to be played my way
Chorus
C D G G/F# C D
Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin 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 goin cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life
and not keep going off the rails,
Chorus
Say hello and wave goodbye
Repeat and fade
