Hello, It's Goodbye Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

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 

It's goodbye, before you know it 

Hello, it's good, hello, it's goodbye
