Hello, I saw you, I know you, I knew you
I think I can remember your name (name)

I think I thought you were someone else

(Hi, hi, hi)
Should we talk about the government?
(Hi, hi, hi, hi)

Hello, how are you? I know you, I knew you
I think I can remember your name, name

Should we talk about the government?
