The band released three albums: "Spring Session M" (1982), "Rhyme & Reason" (1984) and "Color in Your Life" (1986). The band split in 1986 and the band members moved on to other projects. Warren Cuccurullo became the guitarist for Duran Duran and Dale Bozzio and Patrick O'Hearn each pursued solo careers. Terry Bozzio toured as the drummer for several rock musicians, including Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa and Jeff Beck and later formed his own solo band.
Warren, Dale and Terry reformed Missing Persons in 2001 and performed several concerts throughout the United States. Terry Bozzio left the band in late 2001, and the band continued until 2003.
Cuccurullo and Dale Bozzio reformed Missing Persons once again in 2011 for a reunion tour.
As of 2013, Cuccurullo is no longer touring with Missing Persons. According to Dale Bozzio at the Tiki Room show in Costa Mesa, CA, Warren is suing the band for the image on their Spring Session M album. Terry Bozzio has changed drastically in appearance with much longer hair, a different colour (it used to be black) when compared to the Terry Bozzio Official page on Facebook. The keyboard player currently touring with them is Michael T. Ross who has also played with Lita Ford and Angel.
Hello I Love You
Missing Persons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wont you tell me your name
Hello
I wanna jump in your game
Hello
Wont you tell me your name
Hello
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
