Well we were born within one hour of each other Our mothers said we could be sister and brother Your name is Deborah Deborah It never suited you Oh they thought that when we grew up, and they said that when we grew up we'd get married and never split up We never did it, although often I thought of it Oh Deborah, do you recall? Your house was very small with wood-chip on the wall
When I came around to call you didn't notice me at all and I said "Let's all meet up in the year 2000 Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road" I never knew that you'd get married I would be living down here on my own, on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago You were the first girl at 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 and get you undressed We were friends that was as far as it went I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant nothing to you 'cos you were so popular Ah Deborah do you recall? Your house was very small with wood-chip on the wall When I came around to call you didn't notice me at all I said "Let's all meet up in the year 2000 Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road" I never knew that you'd get married I would be living down here on my own on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago Oh yeah Ah do you recall Your house was very small with wood-chip on the wall When I came around to call you didn't notice me at all I said "Let's all meet up in the year 2000 Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road" I never knew that you'd get married I would be living down here on my own on that damp and lonely 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
