[CHARLIE]
Just when you think that you know where you stand
You got the world in your hand
Just when you're sure of the 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 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 in the world that we really like and then just stay together forever? Someone will leave. Someone will always leave. And then we have to say goodbye. I hate goodbyes

(sung)
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
