The old neighborhood is getting smaller everyday
I was just a chip shot, just a stone’s throw away
There’s a few things I guess I could say
But I just stopped by to say “Hello”

I’m sorry to come calling so late
But I saw the lamp in your window
Hey, I’m not trying to start no trouble
I just stopped by to say “Hello”

How’s your weather been?
It’s been stormy on my side of town
It’s supposed to clear up when
That lucky old sun comes back around

I guess I could tell you that I still love you
Guess I could tell you that I miss you so
Probably wouldn’t though ‘cuz we’re just sitting here talking
‘Cuz I just stopped by to say “Hello”

How’s your mother been?
I know she don’t think too much of me
And how ‘bout your new boyfriend?
Is he good company?

So we’re just chit chattin’ about how I still love you
Just shootin’ the breeze about how I miss you so
Just making small talk baby; ‘cuz we’re just sittin’ here talking
‘Cuz I just stopped by to say “Hello”
