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 never 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 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
