You took their breath with just a little wink 
You had their heart with just a dance 
Had them crawling, yeah you made them think 
Ah that they really had a chance 

Down and alone 
And never shown how 
They ought to see you now 

Yeah you were meant for only sunny days 
You had the silver in your mouth 
Ah but life has got a funny way 
Of ripping all that silver out 

Down and alone 
And never shown how 
They ought to see you now 

Oh we loved those lips 
And so fine hips 
That you used to shake 
Yeah you take what you could take 
Yeah well maybe we're all better off this way 

I heard about it from a friend of mine 
He said they really did you in 
Said you're hard enough to say you're fine 
But it was written in your skin 

Down and alone 
And never shown how 
Ah somehow 
Yeah somehow 
Ah somehow 
They ought to see you now
