Lyrics

Madeline

The other day I saw you as I walked along the Seine
You were sitting, laughing, holding hands with Madeline
I saw her as she took your hand, heard her lauging at your jokes
Watched you as you sat yourselves and poured out rum and cokes

I thought you looked ridiculous there, gaping in her eyes
She's fooling you in the same old way she's fooled a thousand guys

Watching from the shadows hiding on that summers night
I saw you both grow quiet sitting in the soft moonlight
When you turned and kissed her, well it almost made me scream
"This really can't be happening, it's just a bad, bad dream!"

That kiss lasted forever, it was really overplayed!
Perhaps it was romantic, in a bargain basement way

Now you're geeting up to go off with that Madeline
I'm feeling like a nervous wreck, oh what a state I'm in!
I watch you as you walk away down the cobbled street
I have to hold a lamp post, I'm unsteady on my feet

I have so much to say to you, but where should I begin?
Don't you realize that you're mine and not that Madelines?
