Hello: (7/28/03, 7/29/03, 7/31/03) draft 4

I'm such a chicken I don't dare to call you,
I must build my courage before I can call you
I must take my pills before I dare to call you
Then it's HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO

I'm such a big baby I don't dare to talk to you,
I might be crazy but you're just too beautiful
I build my courage by drinking more alcohol
Then it's HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO

Got your mom on the phone, she said no, you're not home,
and did I have a clue what time it was
Got your mom on the phone, she was nice enough I 'spose,
but I got the feeling I was! gettin' hosed

I'm such a dork I can hardly believe it,
I like Peter Tork more than I like the Beatles
You listen to bands from Detroit and Seattle
So it's HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO

Got your dad on the phone, he said no, you're not home,
and he asked me just what planet I come from
Got your dad on the phone, he was nice enough I 'spose
Said he wouldn't call the cops if I just! leave you alone

I drive around hoping maybe I'll see you,
it don't work to call you but maybe I'll see you
I do and I freak and I yell out my window
And it's HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO

Much to my surprise I offer you a ride
you get in beside me, we've got
Heaven on the run, you're the only one,
I cannot believe my eyes
Every little smile I almost lose my mind

We drive around until way after midnight,
then I take you home,
I do everything just right
It's such a new feeling when you kiss me goodnight

And it's HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO
