Just pretend you know me casually Don't let people know how much you mean to me Don't call me by my first name when people are around Just say hello and call me Mr Brown It seems so right to be so wrong when your sweet lips meet mine But I just can't give you up I tried so many times So till you're in my arms tonight somewhere outside of town Just say hello and call me Mr Brown [ guitar - steel ] When we shake hands that's part to let you go I know you feel the same you want to hold me close But we must keep it formal each time we meet in town Just say hello and call me Mr Brown It seems so right to be so wrong... Just say hello and call me Mr Brown
