At least you could say "Hello"
You don't have to hurt me so
By crossing the street 
Whenever we meet, sweetheart

At least you could say "Hello"
It wasn't so long ago
That you held me tight 
And whispered "Goodnight" till dawn's early light

Don't worry, there's no danger
You needn't break your date
You'd better hurry, stranger
You might be late, don't make her wait

But, darling, I love you so
I just have to let you know
When you're going my way
At least you could say "Hello"
