Words

Well the first time that I saw her

Standing in the middle of the road

Eyes as bright as Christmas lights

Wearing someone else's clothes

Did my best to ignore her

But ignoring my best pretty soon

Spend the night all tangled tight

In an armchair in my friends front room

I said darling you know

Darling you know I can't stay

'Cos I gave her my heart

And my word to a girl far away

I felt week as she kissed my cheek

Sighed when I heard her say

Never knew I could get my heart broken

In less than a day

Oh when the next time that I saw her

Must have been a year or more

Face stained with mascara

Shivering outside my door

I did my best to assure her

But assurance ain't easy to give

Never been sure of anything much you get less

So the longer you live

She said darling you know

Darling you know I can't stay

'Cos I gave him my heart

And my word to a boy far away

I spoke soft pretended to cough

Like I didn't care either way

Never knew I could get my heart

Broken in so many ways

Well the last time that I saw her

Standing in the pouring rain

Hair was a little shorter

But everything else looked the same

I could have told her that I adored her

She could have said she felt the same way

But we just smiled 'cos sometimes words

Ain't the right words to say

We just smiled 'cos sometimes words

Ain't the right words to say
