oh dear the worst has come true

all of my efforts have left me alone

dear what will I do

baby’s forgotten my name

I called up this morning

asked if I could see her

they told me she’d suffered

from social amnesia

I ran down to find her

in the arms of her doctor

now I’m not sure if this is goodbye or hello

dear the worst has come true

all of my efforts have left me alone

dear what will I do

baby’s forgotten my name

oh dear it’s over I fear

I could have sworn we were closer than this

dear it’s perfectly clear

baby’s forgotten my name

I looked in her mirror

I looked on the shelf

I got so I couldn’t remember myself

she must have been thinkin

of somebody else

when she leaned up and kissed me goodbye and said

hello dear nice to meet you

all of my efforts have left me, and so

dear the worst has come true

baby’s forgotten my name

baby’s forgotten my name

baby’s forgotten my name.
