Just a girl,

 North of England way

Came to me

 One sweet December day

 Is your heart, dear

 As cold as your room?

 Told her several times

 That I didn't like her tunes

Come to me softly,

Come to me sweet

Are we so pale cos we don't eat meat?

Are your arms dear as warm as mine?

Things could have been so different

 If we only have more time

 And as I turn the page

 Of my favourite book

Sweet Gene Vincent

 Was never that good

Can you see dear

 As good as me?

Ashtray eyes and bootlace ties

 Will never set you free

Just a girl,

North of England way

Sang to me

On the darkest day

Is your heart dear

As cold as your room?

I told her several times

That I didn't like her tunes

Sing to me softly

Sing to me sweet

Sing so weakly and shout so ??

Were your clothes dear as cheap as mine?
