I was just waiting for your phone call
When they came along to say
That a rose done changed your clear ol' way

You had said I was gamine
But we didn't mean the same thing, I think
Broke my Choux pastry heart
Guess life's no picture post-card

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Sometimes you win, ooh, sometimes you lose
Don't wanna lose ya
Don't even own ya, yeah
I just wanna stay right here
Until never dawns, yeah, ooh

I was just waiting for your answer
Still, you made your own apologies
I cried so much I had to leave

Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Sometimes you win, ooh, sometimes you lose
Don't wanna lose ya, yeah
Don't even own ya
I just wanna stay right here
Until never dawns, yeah
Ooh
Ooh
