Hello, It`s Goodbye — текст песни (Gilbert O`sullivan)

Take off your coat pull up a chair
Sit next to me not over there
How about a drink what would you like
Would a scotch on the rocks be alright
Then as the lights invariably dim
I gently touch your thigh
And before you know it, Hello it`s goodbye.
You tell me that you`re not that type
And I`m not saying that you`re not right
All that I`m asking is a chance
To do more with you than just holding hands
This is the story of my life
Every chance I get to try
Before you know it, Hello it`s goodbye.

Now I`m not saying that I`m upset
But for all the pleasure that I can get
I might just as well go join a monastery
(just as well join a monastery)

I`m not saying that I`m upset
But for all the pleasure that I`ve been getting
I might just as well go join a monastery
(just as well join a monastery).

Sometimes I think I`m up against
Something that doesn`t make much sense
Like when I`m with a girl like you
I`d do everything a man should do
Then when I feel the time is right
I say no need to be shy
And before you know it Hello it`s goodbye.
