Now and then 
Do you wash your hands of me again? 
Wish me anywhere but home  [bad word] and on the end of your phone 

From time to time 
Do you guess what's really on my mind? 
Guess that "How you keeping now?" 
Means "Where are you sleeping now" 

But of course it's not polite 
To ask you where you spent last night 
And if I did you might reply 
That I have no right 
And anyway I'm fine 
Glad that you're no longer mine 
If I should tell a lie 
I'll cross my heart and hope to die 

You'd be appalled 
If you knew what I was doing 
When you called 
Yes, I can see I'm blundering 
Always end up wondering 

Will it ever be alright 
To ask you where you spent last night 
And can it be polite 
The way we never write, 
Of course I don't have the time, 
And anyway I'm fine 
If I should tell a lie 
I'll cross my hear and hope to die
