Marybeth, have I been on your mind? Or has it cured with the passing of time? Love isn't what I'd hoped it to be One more broken childhood fantasy Marybeth, it's a quarter to five And I'm alone for the thousandth time It's not that I don't like my company But sometimes I don't get what you saw in me 'Cause I'm not sure who I am When I'm all alone And life's easier to plan With someone to hold Marybeth, if there's a meaning to life Do you think I'll find it in someone else's eyes? I do my best and give it a try So when my friends ask me, I won't have to lie Not sure who I am When I'm all alone And life's easier to plan With someone to hold We came so close didn't we? We came close didn't we? We came close didn't we? Marybeth, have we met? Seen you somewhere but for now I forget You came before and I know you'll come next But it's hurt like hell each time you left
