Intro
Well we were born within an hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah. Deborah - it never suited you
Oh and they said that when we grew up
We4d get married and never split up
We never did it, although I often I thought of it
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small with wood-chips on the wall
When I came around to call you didn4t notice me at all
And I said "Let4s all meet up in the year 2000
I never knew that you4d get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and loney Thursday years ago
You were the first girl in school to get breasts
Martyn said that you were the best
The boys all loved you but I was a mess
I had to watch them try to get you undressed
We were friends that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh, it meant nothing to you - cos you were oh so popular
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small with wood-chips on the wall
When I came around to call you didn4t notice me at all
And I said "Let4s all meet up in the year 2000
Won4t it be strange when we4re all fully grown?
Be there two o4clock by the fountain down the road"
I never knew that you4d get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and loney Thursday years ago
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small with wood-chips on the wall
When I came around to call you didn4t notice me at all
And I said "Let4s all meet up in the year 2000
Won4t it be strange when we4re all fully grown?
Be there two o4clock by the fountain down the road"
I never knew that you4d get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and loney Thursday years ago
Oh, what are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby, oh.
Oh, what are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby, oh. ooh oh oh oh....
