lyrics

Marianne stopped me in the middle of the street
She said boy you look like you could use something sweet.
I looked at her she hadn’t changed a bit,
Pretty as a peach, smart as a whip.

Time on me has taken its toll
My heart’s a wreck baby don’t you know.

I fell in love we had a blast
But things like that never last,
I’m back living with my sister Sue
Working with the same old crew.

Time on me has taken its toll
My heart’s a wreck baby don’t you know
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I met Juliette on Princess Street
I buy the coffee she gets the seat.
We used to be married
Now we’re just friends.
And we’re building up the courage to do it again.

Time on us has taken its toll
My heart’s a wreck baby don’t you know
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
