You promised me to meet, do you remember?
I know of a party. don't go without me.
don't you go without me
I still have friends, but most of them
send med postcards
at Christmas and summer saying
we miss you deeply,
but now we must go to move us to feed
and time doesn't care about us
you promised to return, do you remember?
maybe you have lost my number
you would make me happy, if you held on to me
but I won't cry, no tears from my eyes
because of a man
who could never make up his mind
I'd rather be lonely again
and time doesn't care about us
Hello mum and dad, things are about to change
like to come and see ya but it's my holiday
I've just found a man and
I think he can be the one for me
you promised not to leave, do you remember?
never thought it would last forever
I didn't think it would last forever
but I won't cry, no tears from my eyes
because of a man
who could never make up his mind
I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be lonely
and time doesn't care about us
Hello mum and dad, things are about to change
like to come and see ya but it's my holiday
I've just found a man and
I think he can be the one for me
I've just found a man and
I think he can be the one for me
