Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Maureen

It's hard to explain

I'm never gonna see you again

And you'll never meet my new friends

[Verse 2]

Maureen

I miss you

I just can't explain

I'm never gonna see you again

I wish you could meet my new friends

[Verse 3]

Walking along the subway listening too

Loving you is easy acapella

You were a souped up car in a rent a go cart town

And I miss you

Maureen

We're as thick as thieves

[Verse 4]

Maureen, Maureen

Remember when my mother said to me

Sade, don't you come home too late

Till you're back, I stay awake

[Verse 5]

And Maureen

With the boys you could tell at a glance

You'd say he looks good

Let's hope he can dance

Wicky wacky party to the

[Verse 6]

Where are we going tonight

And what will you be wearin'

Shone like a souped up car in a rent a go cart town

And I miss you Maureen, I miss you girl

[Verse 7]

You were my best friend

Never gonna see you again, Maureen

And you'll never meet my new friends

You really were a pearl in my world, Maureen

[Verse 8]

Maureen

It's hard to explain

You'll never call around to see me again

You'll never meet my new friends

[Verse 9]

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

[Verse 10]

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends
