She was left behind and sour And she wrote to me equally dour She said, "In the days when you were hopelessly poor I just liked you more" And if you have five seconds to spare Then I'll tell you the story of my life 16, clumsy and shy I went to London and I I booked myself in at the Y.W.C.A I said, "I like it here, can I stay?
