Well, we were born within an hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah, De-bor-ah, it never suited you
And they said that when we grew up, we'd get married
And never split up
Oh, we never did it, although I often thought of it

Oh, Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood-chip on the wall
When I came round to call
You didn't notice me at all

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 two 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

You were the first girl at school to get breasts
And Martin said that you were the best
Oh, the boys all loved you, but I was a mess
I had to watch them try and get you undressed
We were friends and that's as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes, but it meant

Oh, it meant nothing to you 'cause you were so popular
Oh, Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood-chip on the wall
When I came round to call
You didn't notice me at all

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 two 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, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood-chip on the wall
When I came round to call
You didn't notice me at all

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 two 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 ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me, maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
