Oh we were born within an hour of each other
Our mothers said
we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah (Deborah)
It never suited ya
And they said that when we grew up
We'd get married and never split up
Oh we never did it
although I often thought of it
Oh Deborah do you recall?
Your house was very small
With woodchip 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 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
And Martyn said that you were the best
The boys all loved you
but I was a mess
I had to watch them
trying to get you undressed
We were friends that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh it meant nothing to you
Cos you were so popular
Deborah do you recall?
Your house was very small
With woodchip 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
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh Deborah do you recall?
Your house was very small
