Verse 1

I love you from the bottom, of my pencil case
I love you in the songs, I write and sing
Love you because, you put me in my rightful place
And I love the PRS checks, that you bring

Pre-Chorus

Cheap, never cheap
I'll sing the songs 'till you're asleep
When you've gone upstairs I'll creep
And write it all down, down, down

Chorus

Oh Shirley, Oh Deborah, Oh Julie, Oh Jane
I wrote so many songs about you
I forget your name (I forget your name)
Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too (I forget your name)
Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name

Verse 2

I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you 'till my fountain pen runs dry

Pre-Chorus

Deep so deep,
The number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep,
So cry lover cry, cry, cry

Chorus

Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Philippa, Oh Sue
You made me so much money,
I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

Outro

So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
Late at night, by the typewriter light
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
Late at night, by the typewriter light
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
Late at night, by the typewriter light
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
Late at night, by the typewriter light
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
