Hello Goodbye Lyrics

You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

I say high, you say...

   The second is exactly right, also Paul hates this song because it's meaningless and was during the time when they were really finding their sound.

   Actually Paul was dating a model and this song is about her. He wrote it after he had heard over the television that she was breaking up with him.

   Actually aside from Paul singing all the positive things and "you" saying all the negative things, there is no real relevance to Paul and John in this song at all. Paul was visiting a friend and the friend asked Paul if he'd ever though about the process of writting a song (the friend thought it was easy), and told Paul to come over to his piano and he'd show him. They both sat down and Paul's friend told him to play whatever, and he'd play along with Paul, he also told Paul that he would say a word and that Paul should say the opposite. After wards Paul came up with the demo for Hello goodbye. And that's that. Ejoy!

   This is Paul to John: stop being so negative and/or contrarian and/or let's both try to get along. Unfortunately a recurring theme, because John never acknowledged it and Paul never came right out and said it. Always speaking in riddles. Both of them.
