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