Lyrics
Hello, Hello
Greeting or salutation
I like your smile
Complimenting the person's smile
Hello, Hello
Repeating the greeting
Shall we talk awhile?
Expressing interest in conversation
Or would you like some of my tangerine?
Suggesting sharing tangerines, possibly a metaphor for something sweet or enjoyable
I know I'd never treat you mean
Committing to treat the person well, not intending to be unkind
Never knew how much I need you
Realizing the importance of the person and acknowledging need
Didn't know how to greet you
Admitting not knowing how to properly greet the person
When I saw you look my way
Reflecting on the moment the person caught the singer's attention
I knew I had to say...
Feeling compelled to express something
Always longed to say, "I love you"
Expressing a long-standing desire to say "I love you"
Always been too high above you
Feeling previously unreachable or distant from the person
Now I'm not so far away
Feeling closer or more connected now
Now at last I can say...
Finally able to express the sentiment
Hello, Hello
Repeating the greeting
You've got pretty hair
Complimenting the person's hair
Hello, Hello
Repeating the greeting with added indication of care
Can't you tell I care?
Expressing concern or affection
Or would you like some of my tangerine?
Repeating the offer to share something enjoyable
You know I'd never treat you mean
Reiterating the commitment to treat the person well
