I was right and you were long

     back at the old grey school
     I would win and you would lose

     But you've got everything now
     and what a terrible 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

     Did I ever tell you , by the way
     I never did like your face

     But you've got everything now
     and what a terrible mess I've made of my life

     No, I've never had a job
     because I'm too shy

     But I don't want a lover
     I just want to be tied to the back of your car
