It Meant Goodbye To Me When You Said Hello To Him - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

I made a big mistake when

I introduced her to my friend

And gave him a chance to dance with her

As I watched them in the crowd

I could hear my heart beat loud

Because it meant goodbye to me

When she said hello to him

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

She just held on to his hand

When it was break time for the band

And it was plain to see that I’d lost out

So I slipped to wait and cry

Felt so low I could die

Because it meant goodbye to me

When she said hello to him

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Is there anywhere to go

Where a broken heart won’t show

Everyone must know what’s wrong with me

They can tell about my ways

I go around lost in the days

Because it meant goodbye to me

When she said hello to him

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
