Artist/Band: Betty Carter
Lyrics for Song: Tell Him I Said Hello
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Betty Carter



When you see him


Tell him things are slow


There's a reason and he's sure to know


But on second thought, forget it


Just tell him I said hello





If he asks you when I come and go


Say I stay home 'cause I miss him so


But on second thought, forget it


Just tell him I said hello





Look into his eyes


When you speak my name


Maybe there's a spark to start another flame


Do I love him?


Don't say yes or no


If he should ask you


But he won't I know


Cause it's all over and forgotten


Just tell him I said hello





Look into his eyes


When you speak my name


Maybe there's a spark to start another flame


Do I love him?


Don't say yes or no


If he should ask you


But he won't I know


Cause it's all over and forgotten


Just tell him I said hello


Tell Him I Said Hello
