Today, you're their best friend   But believe me tomorrow, they don't even know your name   Friendship is a word that has lost its meaning   And making friends a funny game      Tell me why, tell me why   It's always been the same   Tell me why, tell me why   Hello and goodbye      They came without warning, they won't leave when you want it   You wish you could beam 'em away   But when you really need them, they will never appear   And if you ask them they will never stay      Tell me why, tell me why   It's always been the same   Tell me why, tell me why   Hello and goodbye      Hello and goodbye      It's always been the same   It's always been the same      I can see by your eyes, you thought they'll never go   But tell me please where are they now   Remember me boy 'cause I told you so   But believe me you'll get through somehow
