Hello I Love You
Missing Persons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello I love you
Wont you tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game

Hello
Wont you tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
You think you'll be that guy
To make the queen of angels sigh

Hello I love you
Wont you tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game
Hello
Tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked
Her legs are long
When she moves
My brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see you fool
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel

Hello
Tell me your name
Hello I love you
Wanna jump in your game
Hello
Wont you tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game

Hello I love you
Wont you tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game
Hello I love you
Wont you tell me your name
Hello I love you
Wanna jump in your game

Hello
Tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game

Hello I love you
Wont you tell me your name
Hello I love you
Wanna jump in your game

Hello




Hello
Hello
