As merry as the days were long
|
I was right and you were wrong
|
|
Back at the old grey school
|
I would win and you would lose
|
|
|
But you've got everything now
|
You've got everything now
|
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
|
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life
|
|
|
No, I've never had a job
|
Because I've never wanted one
|
|
|
I've seen you smile
|
But I've never heard you laugh
|
|
|
So who is rich and who is poor ?
|
I cannot say ... oh
|
|
|
You are your mother's only son
|
And you're a desperate one
|
Oh ...
|
|
|
But I don't want a lover
|
I just want to be seen ... oh ... in the back of your car
|
|
|
A friendship sadly lost ?
|
Well this is true ... and yet, it's false
|
Oh ...
|
|
|
But did I ever tell you, by the way ?
|
I never did like your face
|
Oh ...
|
|
|
But you've got everything now
|
You've got everything now
|
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
|
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life
|
|
|
No, I've never had a job
|
Because I'm too shy
|
|
|
I've seen you smile
|
But I've never really heard you laugh
|
|
|
So who is rich and who is poor ?
|
I cannot say ... oh
|
|
|
Oh ...
|
You are your mother's only son
|
And you're a desperate one
|
Oh ...
|
|
|
But I don't want a lover
|
I just want to be tied ... oh ... to the back of your car
|
To the back of your car
|
To the back of your car
|
To the back of your car
|
The back of your car
|
To the back of your car
|
Oh ...
|
