Standing in 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 never happens again.

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up fliding down. Hey little girl you will always make up So take off that unbecoming frown what about me? Well I'll find someone that's not going cheap in the sales A nice little house-wife who'll give me a steady life And won't keep going off the rails. Take your hands off me I don't belong to you you see. . . . We've been involved for 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 "hello" - Say hello then wave goodbye - say hello then wave goodbye Say hello then wave goodbye - ...
