Oh we were born within one hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah, Deborah
It never suited ya'
And they said that when we grew up
We'd get married, and never split up
Oh we never did it, although I often thought of it

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood-chip on the wall
When I came around to call
you didn't notice me at all

[Chorus]
And I said let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago

You were the first girl at school to get breasts
And Martyn said that you were the best
All the boys all loved you but I was a mess
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends but that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh it meant nothing to you
'Cos you were so popular

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Oh what are you doing Sunday baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby
ooh! [2x]

Well we were born within one hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name was Deborah, Deborah
It never suited ya

Oh they thought that when we grew up
We'd get married, and never split up
We never did it, although often I thought of it
Oh Deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn't notice me at all, and I said

Let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there 2 o'clock, by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you'd get married
