Lyrics
- Just when you think that you know where you stand
- You've got the world in your hand
- Just when you're sure of a dream that you planned
- That's when the scenery changes
- It changes.
- Just when you think that you know all the facts
- You hold the whole ball of wax
- You've got it made, you can start to relax
- That's when your world rearranges
- And changes.
- Someone that you really cared about
- Someone that you couldn't live without
- Severs the ties.
- All at once you're all alone and scared
- All the happy hellos that you shared
- Change to goodbyes.
- Why must we pay for hellos that we say?
- Pay when we sigh an adieu?
- Just when you're sure, and you're safe and secure
- That's when it happens to you
- It changes.
- (Spoken) Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like, and then just stay together forever? Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. And then we'd have to say goodbye. I hate goodbyes.
- Why must we pay for hellos that we say?
- Pay when we sigh an adieu?
- Just when you're sure, and you're safe and secure,
- That's when it happens to you
- It changes.
- Why oh why?
- (Spoken) You know what I need? I need more hellos.
