I've been feeling sick all day
Wish I'd asked you to stay
'Cause I need a little takin' care of

Maybe you didn't know
That I didn't want you to go
But who do I say it to now, love
You're like an old perfume
That brings back memories
You're that forgotten tune I now recall

I've been wrongly turned away
You say you're meant for someone other
Than this contented pearl
Floating at the shoreline
In waters dark and cold under
The shadow of a girl

I wish I could have said
All that was in my head
Now darlin' you will never know
That I loved you so
Can't remember how I used to feel
Can't remember how it used to be
Don't delight(?) at all by myself
I don't need or want your help
