Hello It’s Me Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Okay (Believe me), wait a minute
Gimme– Just gimme… gimme…
(Anybody fucks up… Right)
Gimme a break for a second
Two, three (four)… One, two, three…
One, ah-two… ah-one, two, three

[Verse 1]
Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much, but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

[Verse 2]
Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

[Bridge]
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
[Verse 3]
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

[Bridge]
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

[Verse 3]
Think of me
You, you know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

[Outro]
Think of me, think of me, think of me
Think of me, think of me, think of me
Think of me, think of me, think of me
Think of me, think of me, think of me
Think of me, think of me, think of me
Think of me, think of me, think of me
Think of me, think of me, think of me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This was Todd Rundgren’s first original song, first recorded in 1968 by his band Nazz on their debut self-titled album. This remake from 1972’s Something/Anything reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song is a phone call to someone about a break up, and how they both deserve space but also never forget each other.
