Verse 2
=======
She took her mother's car to get away from me
Heaven knows that I, I can sympathize
Oh I can sympathize
For we were never close if the truth were told
All we ever shared was a taste in clothes
Oh we were never close
We were simply losing everything
Underneath the cruellest London sun
