[Strophe]
               E 
Well we were born within an hour of each other 
  
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother 
              A 
Your name is Deborah, Deborah - it never suited you 
          E 
And they said that when we grew up 
  
We'd get married and never split up 
            A 
Oh we never did, although I often thought of it
[Pont]
                           Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 etc 
Oh Deborah, do you recall? 
  
Your house was very small 
  
With woodchip on the wall 
  
And when I came round to call 
                       E 
You didn't notice me at alllllllll
[Refrain]
              A 
And I said, let's all meet up in the year 2000 
C#m                                        F#m 
won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? 
                            Bm               E 
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road 
A 
I never knew that you'd get married 
C#m 
I would be living down here on my own 
         F#m                Bm              E 
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
[Strophe]
E 
You were the first girl in school to get breasts 
  
Martin said that you were the best 
                A 
Oh the boys all loved you, but I was a mess 
  
I had to watch 'em try to get you undressed 
        E 
We were friends that was as far as it went 
  
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant 
                     A 
Oh it meant nothing to you 
  
cos you were, oh so popular

[Interlude]
 
Do it, oh yeah, oh yeah. And now it's all over. You've paid your money 
 
and you've taken your choice and I know we'll never meet again. 
 
But Deborah, I just wanted you to know I remember every single thing.
