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!)
