Quickly she came, dressed up for fame
Riding her perfume downstairs
Make-up like glue, she danced 'round the room
To the sound of the corduroy flares
Let's go to town, taxis all round
We could stop for a couple of beers
He looks at it all, stifles a yawn
She tries not to look like she cares
What do I do now?
Are we going under?
What did I do wrong?
I thought we had it sorted
Out the other day
Maybe I'm just stupid
Can't we try again?
No one told me it was raining
Can't face a club
They walk to a nearby pub
Watch a couple of bands
Draining the glass, they walk home at last
Reaching for each other's hands
Nothing is said, he goes to bed
Dreaming of her on his own
She stays up all week, watching him sleep
Scared that she'll wake up alone
What do I do now?
Are we going under?
What did I do wrong?
I thought we had it sorted
Out the other day
Maybe I'm just stupid
Can't we try again?
No one told me it was raining.
I'll miss you every day of your life
And oh, you'll feel it too
You're not that strong
You know I'm onto you
I'll miss you every day of your life
And maybe when you're dead, I'll get some rest
From holding onto you
What do I do now?
Are we going under?
What did I do wrong?
I thought we had it sorted
Is there someone else?
Or am I too familiar?
Was it when I said I wanted to have children?
Tore up all your photos
Didn't feel too clever
Spent the whole of Sunday
Sticking you together
Now I'd like to call you
But I feel too awkward
Some things need explaining
No one told me it was raining
