Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You say, "Yes"

I say, "No"

You say, "Stop"

And I say, "Go, go, go"

Oh no

[Chorus]

You say, "Goodbye" and I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

I don't know why you say, "Goodbye", I say, "Hello"

[Verse 2]

I say, "High"

You say, "Low"

You say, "Why?"

And I say, "I don't know"

Oh no

[Chorus]

You say, "Goodbye", and I say, "Hello, hello, hello" (Hello goodbye, hello goodbye, hello goodbye)

I don't know why you say, "Goodbye", I say, "Hello, hello, hello" (Hello goodbye, hello goodbye, hello goodbye)

I don't know why you say, "Goodbye", I say, "Hello" (Hello goodbye)

[Bridge]

Why, why, why, why, why, why

Do you say, "Goodbye

Goodbye-bye-bye-bye-bye"?

Oh no

[Chorus]

You say, "Goodbye", and I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

I don't know why you say, "Goodbye", I say "Hello"

[Verse 3]

You say, "Yes" (I say, "Yes")

I say, "No" (But I may mean, "No")

You say, "Stop" (I can stay)

And I say, "Go, go, go" (Till it's time to go)

Ah-uh

Oh no

[Chorus]

You say, "Goodbye", and I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello-ohoo-oh-ohoo-oh"

Hello-oh-oh

[Outro]

Hela heba hello-a

Hela heba hello-a (Cha! Cha! Cha!)

Hela heba hello-a (Woo)

Hela heba hello-a (Hela)

Hela heba hello-a (Cha! Cha! Cha!)

Hela heba hello-a (Woo-ooh)

Hela heba hello-a (Cha! Cha!)

Hela heba hello-a (Cha! Cha!)
