Little Heart of Cardboard

I met a girl in Birmingham, I took her home and showed her things
She’s never seen, on a TV screen
We drank and danced and laughed and cried
The whole affair a week no more before it died
Killed by something inside
And don’t you ever say I never cared – I bought you flowers (flowers)
And don’t you ever say that we weren’t friends as well as lovers (lovers)
I hate to say ‘I told you so’ but – I was right and you were wrong ‘cos
Sometimes you find
My little heart of Cardboard will let you down
Let you down, let you down (down down, down down, down down, do-own)
My little heart of Cardboard, let you down
Let you down (down down, down down, down down, do-own)
I met a girl in Birmingham, she asked me stay
But instead, I just went away – just left one day
Don’t know why I did it then, but always seems safer just to keep it so
I gotta go
And don’t you ever say I never cared – I bought you flowers (flowers)
And don’t you ever say that we weren’t friends as well as lovers (lovers)
I hate to say ‘I told you so’ but – I was right and you were wrong ‘cos
Sometimes you find
My little heart of Cardboard will let you down
Let you down, let you down (down down, down down, down down, do-own)
My little heart of Cardboard, let you down
Let you down (down down, down down, down down, do-own)
I met a girl in Birmingham, I loved her that day
I knew it was true love – I wanted her to stay
But she got fed up with my dilettante ways
So she packed up, packed up and …
(dooh wah diddy, dooh wah diddy, yeah yeah yeah, we walked away)
Walked away
(dooh wah diddy, dooh wah diddy, Little Heart of Cardboard we walked away)
And don’t you ever say I never cared – I bought you flowers (flowers)
And don’t you ever say that we weren’t friends as well as lovers (lovers)
I hate to say ‘I told you so’ but – I was right and you were wrong ‘cos
Sometimes you find
My little heart of Cardboard will let you down
Let you down, let you down (down down, down down, down down, do-own)
My little heart of Cardboard, let you down
Let you down (down down, down down, down down, do-own)
