i have fallen for another
she can make her own way home
and even if she asked me now
i’d let her go alone
i useta see her up the chapel
when she went to sunday mass
and when she’d go up to receive
i’d kneel down there and watch her pass
the glory of her ass

i useta lover, i useta lover once
a long, long time ago
i useta lover, i useta lover once
a long, long time ago
it’s gone, all my lovin is gone
it’s gone, all my lovin is gone

d’you remember her collectin
for concern on christmas eve
she was on a forty-eight hour fast
just water and black tea
i walked straight up and made
an ostentatious contribution
and i winked at her to tell her
i’d seduce her in the future
when she’s feelin’ loser

so now you know the truth of it
she’s no longer my obsession
though the thoughts and dreams i had of her
would take six months in confession
see i met this young one thursday night
and she’s inta free expression
and her mission is to rid the world
of this sinful repression
then we had a session

it’s gone, long long gone

i have fallen for another
she can maker her own way home
