It Meant Goodbye To Me When You Said Hello To Him

Merle Haggard


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
Cause 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 away to cry felt so low I could die
Cause 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 by my ways I go round lost in the days
Cause it meant goodbye to me when she said hello to him
Hmm hmm hmm   hmm hmm hmm  hmm hmm hmm  hmm hmm hmm
