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 ...
