I went out with Debbie, and I got Karen,
Steve wasn't happy but hey-ho, who wouldn't want to spend time with their cousin?
The whole evening flew by
An evening I would never forget
Karen was smart, Karen was pretty.
Karen lit up the love in my heart.
Karen was waiting for that call the next day.
I didn't call till the day after.
I had wasted a day.
Karen gave me a ring, I gave two hearts.
Karen was smart, Karen was pretty.
Karen lit up the love in my heart.
For 18 months, the happiness kept flowing
The dancing, and heat gave me memories to hold dear.
Karen was smart, Karen was pretty.
Karen lit up the love in my heart.
Karen would sprinkle more Tramp to her love letters.
Her fragrance never left me .
From the Bee Gees to Berry Head your love endures
Happy life darling, wherever you are
Happy life darling, wherever you are
The Queen's Vault called most days at one.
Debbie sang from that wall about hearts and glass.
I closed my eyes, trying to relax from the tension.
The end of an era, yet commencing a new.
The past put behind and the new past set to come.
Change matters, she must never be stopped.
Karen sat there once in that alcove to my left.
Now the alcove is empty but the future burns bright.
Debbie raises the tension with words of atomic magnificence.
I'm so in love with you, yet I haven't met you yet.
The past put behind and the new past set to come.
Change matters, she must never be stopped.
I'm so in love with you, yet I haven't met you yet.
I'm so in love with you, yet I haven't met you yet.
I'm so in love with you, yet I haven't met you yet.
Oh Carole, from the moment I heard that lovely Welsh voice sat with you at the back of that classroom in Blackheath Lane
Your lovely curly writing distracting me from your lovely smile.
When you said you loved me like a brother, I knew... I knew.
When I saw that you were living opposite me, my heart soared. Even though you lived with 3 other girls, all I could see was you.
When you said you loved me like a brother, I knew... I knew.
I would walk you to the telephone, and wait stood in the cold ,whilst you called your boyfriend. Your pile of 10p coins stacked high and taking a painful age to vanish.
When you fell off your bike in the pouring rain.
You ran to me . I held you caring not for the wet and dirt.
Then you started dating my best friend.
Ow, that hurt.
When you said you loved me like a brother, I knew... I knew
I still have those memories, photographs of the lovely smile, and a file of that lovely curly writing.
But hey, love is love.
Carole was just a friend but I needed more
You burst onto my scene, what is it about smart girls?
You made me raise my game, it was fun keeping up
You said I put you on a pedestal
But who wouldn't do that? Who wouldn't do that?
We spent time in the sun, spending our money on Space Invaders in the arcade.
I enjoyed the Yorkshire moors and Mild down your local
We finished at the top of the class
I came out best cos I got to love you
I came out best cos I got to love you
Your love faded out... it hurt less cos I'd been there before
It wasn't the first time nor would it be the last
Sometimes the pain goes down, sometimes it goes way up
You said I put you on a pedestal
But who wouldn't do that?
Who wouldn't do that?
I came out best cos I got to love you
I came out best cos I got to love you
I came out best cos I got to love you
So... thank you
I remember the night in the Eagle
when i noticed for the first time your lovely almond eyes.
I knew there was something between us when we were sat side by side in that maths class
We looked into each others eyes, we leaned slowly towards each other to steal that kiss
The row behind us burst out cheering, you pulled quickly away...
When the other girls wore dull t-shirts and jeans, you wore style in your floral dresses.
For your 21st birthday red rose
I traipsed the streets of Paris
When you had a phone call you would shout from the corridor outside your room
J'arrive, chambre neuf cent sept
London to Paris
By plane, by boat, by train, by bus, by hovercraft,
Nothing could keep me away from sweet you
Every other weekend for that wonderful year, the beauty of the sites and sounds of Paris
could not compare with the beauty I saw in you
London to Paris
By plane, by boat, by train, by bus, by hovercraft,
Nothing could keep me away from sweet you
Mais finalement, je t'aime est devenu je t'aime bien
It was over but every minute was a minute to treasure
Merci, mon amour,
You chased me from Monday to Friday,
I couldn't get in or out without you seeing,
So I gave up trying to hide, surrendering my arm every lunchtime
I can't love you back
I can't, I can't, I can't
I have to admit we looked good walking towards the palace to the pub on the corner.
I made it clear that I had another and she was waiting, albeit not near.
You invited me to a pyjama party,
I asked you who else was going,
You replied "only you".
So I said I was busy that weekend,
You didn't take the hint... or perhaps you did
You invited me to your house to help you study for that I.T. exam.
How could I say no?
I made it clear that I had another and she was waiting, albeit not near.
Then I found out about her other,
All of a sudden those pyjamas looked good...
Perhaps I should have said I can,
I can, I can, I can
The highlight of my week were those Tuesday evenings
Our Viennese Waltz and your swirling dress.
The shuffling of your Cha-cha-cha as we danced those quick steps.
Your flowing foxtrot movements across the dance floor were graceful.
But the lifts, jumps, throws and flips of Rock 'n' Roll and Jive were electric, holding you close with twisting passion
Oh, my Jennifer (at least on Tuesdays)
The calls of "Pennsylvania six-five-oh oh oh" reverberate in my memories
For six other days of the week the evenings meant so little,
My bedroom floor suffered from my lonely practice steps
Oh, my Jennifer (at least on Tuesdays)
The calls of "Pennsylvania six-five-oh oh oh" reverberate in my memories
I can hold the medals, even if I can no longer hold you.
I left your dance floor, never to return...
You're my favourite!
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Send a heart, send a spark
Kiss you in the dark, yeah
Wanna feel you close for real, oh-oh
Red lights, city nights
Calling me tonight, yeah
Don’t you want me like I want you, baby?
Don’t you need me like I need you now?
Sleep tomorrow, let’s go crazy
All you gotta do is just kiss me again (and again, and again, and again...)
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh
It’s whatever, whatever you like
Turn this place into a kiseu vibe
Kiseu, dance, laugh, party all night
Kiseu, kiseu, raise it up high
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Just meet me at the, uh-huh, uh-huh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Just meet me at the, uh-huh, uh-huh
Hey, you know the kissing game, are you ready? (oh, yeah)
I’m coming to get ya, get ya, get ya
Hold on, hold on, I’m on my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, I’m on my way
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Just meet me at the, uh-huh, uh-huh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Just meet me at the, uh-huh, uh-huh
Don’t you want me like I want you, baby?
Don’t you need me like I need you now?
Sleep tomorrow, let’s go crazy
All you gotta do is just kiss me again (and again, and again, and again...)
Oh!
It lasted three years
It had its ups and downs (mostly ups)
when you vanished,
it was heartbreaking,
when you re-appeared,
it was heartbreaking, again (aaaggghhh)
A new country, a new culture... a new love
It all started with your chicken curry
(although you laughed at the English version).
Genting Highlands was fun, as was Bintan.
Your colourful sarees were a change
And your sitar was a challenge
A new country, a new culture... a new love
Dancing Bhangra in the dark,
Holding love so desperately,
Painting for solice,
But it wasn't enough, was it?
Then one day in that January,
You were gone, only to re-appear, but not for long.
Living in the moment,
Well, at least one of us is,
There's three of you,
just the one of me
These girls are live ones,
Live ones,
Live ones, (oh yeah)
Make up your minds,
I ain't got all day luv,
First you say yes, then no, then maybe
Multiply by three
Gimme a break
One of you bites, but two don't,
One of you loves, but two don't,
One of you plays, but two don't
It's not literal you know
It's just a juicy song
I'm looking to be certified
I saw it daubed on a wall
Don't know what it means but it felt so right
Please just love me, no matter what
Oh hell, the certification don't really matter
Oh, meow
why you like that?
why, why, why you like that lah
She didn't matter, really
none of them did
nor will any still coming... and come they will...I'm sorry not
I not know who certifies anyhow
Can I self-certify?
Is it worth the same?
Do they check... do I we care
Do you care babe, if you're the one being slayed...
I saw you sat at the bar that Sunday afternoon,
My day stopped and the rest of my life began,
Your hair reminded me of my disco days,
We revelled dancing those afternoons at Fire
It took me a while but I found the one I had been searching for,
My Mahal, my love, my endless summer, forever.
Even though I have to leave the house when you eat durian,
and the noise you make shuffling those mahjong tiles
Your love letters sent me back to you, and the photographs, even the one I had to hide.
When I was separated from you, I rushed to your embassy to pledge my love for you.
Your chicken curry, and that green gooey stuff but not your adobo
It took me a while but I found the one I had been searching for,
My Mahal, my love, my endless summer, forever.
I love you so much I had to invent a language just for you...
Magunda, my darling love
Gipeun eodum
(deep darkness),
I see your fear.
Yeogi isseo
(I’m here),
I’ll wipe your weeping away.
Shadows hold tight (yeah, yeah, hold 'em, hold 'em),
but I won’t be letting go.
Nope.
Hold the light, we’ll rise (or, we'll fall)!
Were will my love be then?
Right here, that's where.
Oh-ooh-oh, Oh-oh-oh, Oh-ooh-oh
Buck up (my love), light up, light up!
Broken souls, we share the same scar
Hand in hand, we'll not let go. No, never... ever.
You're my favourite!
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Send a heart, send a spark
Kiss you in the dark, yeah
Wanna feel you close for real, oh-oh
Red lights, city nights
Calling me tonight, yeah
Don’t you want me like I want you, baby?
Don’t you need me like I need you now?
Sleep tomorrow, let’s go crazy
All you gotta do is just kiss me again (and again, and again, and again...)
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh
It’s whatever, whatever you like
Turn this place into a kiseu vibe
Kiseu, dance, laugh, party all night
Kiseu, kiseu, raise it up high
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Just meet me at the, uh-huh, uh-huh
Hey, you know the kissing game, are you ready? (oh, yeah)

Hold on, hold on, I’m on my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, I’m on my way
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Just meet me at the, uh-huh, uh-huh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Just meet me at the, uh-huh, uh-huh
