“Hello I Love You” was originally written and performed by The Doors in 1968. In 1990, Elektra Records celebrated its 40th anniversary with a compilation named Rubáiyát. It consists of the label’s then-current bands performing older songs from their catalog, and The Cure performed this one for it.
[Chorus]
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
[Chorus]
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
[Verse 1]
She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
[Refrain]
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
I love you, won't you
[Chorus]
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game
[Verse 2]
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
[Verse 3]
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
[Outro]
Hello, hello, hello, hello
I need you, I need you
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Tell me your name
