G5               G5          C5       D5     G5     G5 C5       D5 
Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo crying in the rain 
G5     G5       C5   D5           G5         G5           C5      D5 
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again, 
G5   G5   C5   D5       G5         G5        C5  D5 
You and I  had to be  the standing joke of the year, 
G5           G5    C5 D5               G5      G5         C5     D5 
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me I feel, 
E5           G5        B5  C5  D5 
Take your hands off me, hey, 
E5       G5         B5       C5 D5 
I don't belong to you, you see, 
   E5         G5          B5            C5  D5 
And take a look in my face, for the last time, 
 E5           E5  G5 
I never knew you, you never knew me, 
B5             C5    D5         G5   G5 
Say hello goodbye, 
    C5         D5        G5 G5 C5  D5       
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 
    C5         D5        G5 G5 C5  D5    
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
