As merry as the days were long I was right and you were 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 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 your lover I just want to be seen In the back of your car 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'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 tied To the back of your car
