As merry as the days were long
I am right and you are 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
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 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
