hello lyrics

So you met him at Shoney's and he gave you his card
And he said you'd go out Friday night
Well, he's a total stranger but he's tall and he's cute
Girl, am I getting this right?

Now didn't we cover all this ground last week
When the last loser left you alone
Now here we are having the same conversation
And I'm wondering if there's anybody home

Hello, are you listening?
Have you even heard a single word I've said
Hello, wake up and smell his cheap cologne
How can I get it through your fairy tale head
Ooh, phone's ringin', girl it's for you, hello

It seems like you're always falling for the same guy
You just change the face and the name
But if you're gonna keep fishing in a pool of shallow water
You can't give the fish all the blame

Now this is how it is I'm your friend and I love you
And I hate to see you hurtin' all the time
Now don't you put me on hold 'cause your call waiting's saying
That your Mr. Wrong is on the other line

Hello, are you listening?
Have you even heard a single word I've said
Hello, wake up and smell his cheap cologne
How can I get it through your fairy tale head
Ooh, phone's ringin', girl it's for you, hello

I said hello, are you listening?
Have you even heard a single word I've said
Hello, wake up and smell his cheap cologne
How can I get it through your fairy tale head
Ooh, phone's ringin', girl it's for you
Why do I get the feeling I'm not getting through?
Hello, hello, hello, hello
