Lyrics

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, oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh You are your mother's only son, and you're a desperate one Mm, oh-oh-oh-oh 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, oh 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, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh You are your mother's only son, and you're a desperate one Oh, oh-oh-oh-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 To the back of your car To the back of your car
