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 really heard you laugh So who is rich and who is poor ? I cannot say
You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one But I don't want a lover I just want to be seen in the back of your car
A friendship sadly lost ? Well this is true … and yet, it's false But did I ever tell you, by the way ? I never did like your face
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…
You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one But I don't want a lover I just want to be tied to the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car
