Song Meanings
Hello
Hello is about a guy who is shy to tell to that lady if he is the right guy for her. In this song, the guy is also saying that the girl is the one he looked for and love. He wanted to tell her that he loves her so much but too shy to say it in person. -- Autolady006 09:58, 17 March 2007 (PDT)
