Came and Went

Gilbert O'Sullivan

When you needed money 
You came to me 
It was no problem 
That was plain to see 
Yet when I needed some company 
You promised you'd pay me a call 
But you came and went so quickly 
I didn't know 
You had been here at all 
When there was a war on 
You came crawling to me 
There seemed no better place 
That you'd rather be 
Yet when it was over you told me 
You'd come back and pay me a call 
But you came and went so quickly 
I didn't know 
You had been here at all 
What does it mean
What does it prove 
If I get my 
Own back on you 
Revenge is sweet 
But so are peas 
And not the ones 
Alphabetically 
My hands are cold 
Legs are like ice 
I'm on the beach 
Weather is nice 
The wind comes up 
It starts to snow 
My hands get warm 
My feet they glow 
Oh I can remember 
Things you used to say 
But what sticks in my mind most 
Is the way 
You hurt me so much 
When you left me 
Although you promised you'd pay me a call 
But you came and went so quickly 
I didn't know 
You had been here at all
