Hello (Hello)

Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello)

Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello)

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing

But I'd gladly write a song instead

They said OK and everything was cool

Till a camera tried 2 get in my bed (Hello)

My bed (Hello) (Hello)

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")

When this man tries 2 get in the car

("Hey Prince, come on, give us a smile, eh?")

No introduction, "How've U been?"

Just - "Up yours! Smile, that's right, U're a star!" (Star)

U call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends

I guess I'm used 2 havin' 'em around

And cameras by nature like rewards

That's the trouble I get when I'm Uptown

I'm not afraid 2 die cuz I know there's a better place 2 go

(Don't be afraid cuz there's a better place 2 go)

I eat what I want, whole wheat toast

(U can eat what U want, anything is cool in moderation)

And I'm happy, and that's 4 sure

We're against hungry children, our record stands tall

But there's just as much hunger here at home

We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand

A flower that has water will grow

And a child misunderstood will go

Hello! Hello! Hello!

(Hello)

Everybody

We're against hungry children, our record stands tall

But there's just as much hunger here at home

We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand

A flower that has water will grow

And a child misunderstood will go

Our record stands tall, U know

Give us time and love will show

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Gotta he..., gotta he... he... hello!

I haven't lost my desire

I wouldn't beg U

Instead of playin' deduction of what 2 do

They called me rude often

When I called their hand

They judged me and told me that we're through

"Why can't U be like the others?"

I cried out over and again

"Why can't U learn 2 play by the rules?"

But maybe at last it's the end

Because I am not like others

I'm unique in the respect I'm not U

I know in my heart I would try 2 love U

I wouldn't try 2 hurt U despite all the ways U try 2 hurt me

U call me a fraud, an uncaring wretch

But I'm an artist and my only aim is 2 please

Between U and yours, myself and mine

Isn't life cruel enough without cruel words, cruel words?

U see, words are like shoes

They're just something 2 stand on

I wish U could be in my shoes

But they're probably so high, U'd fall off and die

4 U words are definitely not shoes

They're weapons and tools of destruction

And your time is boring unless U're putting something down

What would life be if we believed what we read

And a smile is just hiding a frown?

Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes?

Hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

Hello
