Its a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem insane
You filled my head with your notions
You made everybody else seem so tame
In your bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same

I moved straight into your shoes
Took up your cause answered your phone
I couldnt really imagine
What life was like when I was alone
Then I started to worry [and then I started to worry]
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
Too much TV and curry
Too much time spent on ourselves

We were sitting in, waiting
And I told you my plan
You were far too busy writing
Rhymes that didnt scan
And you lent me your records
And I lent you an ear
Funny how it seems to me that
You were never [donna: "never"] here
You were never [donna: "never"] really here

In your bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way i was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
Its a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem so plain
Then it felt like going through the motions
First impressions never remain

We were sitting in, waiting
And you told me my plan
I was far too busy writing
Rhymes thatll never scan
Now Ive sold all your records
Cos they give me the fear
Funny how it seems to me that
You were never [donna: "never"] here
You were never [donna: "never"] really here
You were never [donna: "never"] really here
