Lyrics
[Verse]
Well, 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 you.
And they said that when we grew up,
We'd get married and never split up.
Oh, we never did, although I often thought of it
[Pre-chorus]
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With wood chip on the wall,
And when I came round to call,
You didn't notice me at all
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
You were the first girl in school to get breasts.
Martin said that you were the best.
Oh, the boys all loved you, but I was a mess!
I had to watch them try 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, oh so popular
[Pre-chorus]
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With wood chip on the wall,
And when I came round to call
You didn't notice me at all
[Chorus]
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.
[Interlude into pre-chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With woodchip on the wall,
And when I came round to call
You didn't notice me at all
[Chorus]
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.
Oh, what are you doing Sunday, baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe
You can even bring your baby
Ooh ah ha ooh hoo hoooo hoo
Oh, what are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe
You can even bring your baby
Ooh ah ha ooh hoo hoooo hoo, hoo ah hoo hoooo hooo!
