I remember you when we were both at school For one short week we shared the same carpool (Hey, hey) Then I saw you today You're looking pretty special in your disco hat As you do your dirty laundry at the laundromat Life has intervened but nothing's changed Your eyes looked kinda tired But you basically looked the same, the same You were never really that good at sports But you kissed me on a dare behind the tennis courts (Hey, hey) You'd been all the way I always was afraid of your fearsome friends You used to disappear with them for long weekends One day you left, Monday never came And there you were standing In the wash and fold again I should have stopped and said Hello but I didn't I'll go back to the mess at home I should have stopped and said Let's go but I couldn't Leave my memories alone We were very nearly in the same school play But I ended up as prompter for the matinees (Hey, hey) You were Salome But I saw you in your bra in the costume tent I ran across the stage in embarrassment Even now, it's harder not to stare at you Sorting out the whites from the colours in your underwear I should have stopped and said Hello but I didn't I'll go back to the mess at home I should have stopped and said Let's go but I couldn't Leave my memories alone Because it's ancient history and we are not the same And we will never know the mystery again I should have stopped and said Hello but I didn't I'll go back to the mess at home I should have stopped and said Let's go but I couldn't Leave my memories alone
