Hello, Goodbye Lyrics

You say "Yes", I say "No".
You say "Stop" and I say "Go, go, go".
Oh no.
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.

I say "High", you say "Low".
You say "Why?" And I say "I don't know".
Oh no.
You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello".
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, hello, goodbye. Hello, goodbye. Hello, goodbye.)
Why, why, why, why, why, why, do you
Say "Goodbye, goodbye, bye, bye".
Oh no.
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".

You say "Yes", I say "No".
(I say "Yes", but I may mean "No").
You say "Stop", I say "Go, go, go".
(I can stay still it's time to go).
Oh, oh no.

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-wow, oh. Hello".
Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa.
Hela, heba, helloa. (Hela.) Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa.
Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa.

I think it's about someone who says, "This relationship is OVER," but really it's just starting. :o)

Lennon was an idiot? He was by far the most talented Beatle. Consider what songs were written by Paul after the split, I can count the good ones on one hand. John wrote dozens.

To me, this song is just a happy comedy pop song, and I doubt Paul intended any conotation or anything in this.

Yes, Lennon wrote great songs. He wrote most of the Beatles songs with McCartney, but I heard he wrote the lyrics mostly. And they were fantastic.

Not Valid

Its about miscommunication/incompatibility between the sexes.

"Miscommunication", agreed. Ironically, here where I live this song was used in a TV commercial for a telecom company, just how rich is that?

This song is about the word Aloha. Which means both -------hello and goodbye. If you listen to the end of the song you can hear the chorus saying-- A lah, a lah alo hah--or similar.

You could be right. I just watched the video and it features hulu dancers at the end!

I dont know how any of you can choose a favorite beatle, they were/are all brilliant in so many ways. and sayin lennon was an idiot is just retarded. lennon was a musical genious. No one was the leader of the band, a bands that have leaders arn't successful and break up pretty fast. If anyone was the leader then it was george martin, it was his job to lead the band to success. Choosing a favourite out of a legendary band where everyone write great song is just an impossible task.

As for the song, very nice to listen to on lsd :D i think its just about putting a positive outlook on things. For every time the word "goodbye" is used, the word "hello" is used 3 times. Goodbye isnt a nice word as it represents some1 leaving. The same concept can be said for "yes" and "no" Yes is a word of acceptance, letting something into your life, where as no is pushing something away
