You've Got Everything Now lyrics

As merry as the days were long

I am right and you were wrong

Back at the old grey school

I would win and you would lose

But you've got everything now

And what a terrible mess I've made of my life

What a mess I've made of my life

No, I've never had a job

Because I've never wanted one

I've seen you smile

But I've never really heard you laugh

So who is rich and who is poor

I cannot say

You are your mother's only son

And you're a desperate one

But I don't want a lover

I just want to be seen

In the back of your car

A friendship sadly lost

Well this is true

And yet, it's false

But did I ever tell you by the way

I never did like your face

But you've got everything now

And what a terrible mess I've made of my life

What a mess I've made of my life

No, I've never had a job

Because I'm too shy

I've seen you smile

But I've never really heard you laugh

So who is rich and who is poor

I cannot say

You are your mother's only son

And you're a desperate one

But I don't want a lover

I just want to be tied

To the back of your car
