Hello John

One of the most confused pop songs in this past century is by the troubled artist Lionel Richie. His music was full of such torment, much like Wesley Willis - he desperately searched for some understanding regarding his tormented soul. In 'Hello', he explores his destructive love for his split personality, which despite the obvious similarities (such as sharing the same human body) he finds difficulty to asking out on a date. But because so many do not understand the true intent of his words, I will provide you - the lay person - a translation.

Hello - Lionel Richie

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you

It appears I have developed multiple personalities
Additionally, I am becoming delusional
and even transfer my own obsessive habits to my split personality
I ask, am I seeking my own true self through my own psycotic behavior?

I delusionally see it in the eyes of my split personality
I delusionally see it in the smile of my split personality
My split personality is all I've ever wanted, and I am waiting for acceptance
Because certainly I would understand what I (or my split personality) would have to say
Additionally, I (or my split personality) would need to do
And I want to tell myself so much, I love me...

I long to see the sunlight in my hair, rather than my afro
And tell myself time & time how much I care
Sometimes I feel irregular heart palpitations
Hello, I've just got let me know

'Cause I wonder where I am
And I wonder what I do
Am I somewhere feeling lonely, or am I loving myself?
Tell me how to win my heart
For the moments of clarity I truly am confused
But let me start by saying... I love me
