-------------------------------------------------
Charlie got lucky and he laid her down
Charlie got Judy from Kingston town
Judy said "baby I can you set you free"
Charlie said "honey, make a man of me"

Charlie and Judy made themselves a home
But Judy stayed out, left him all alone
Charlie got angry, Judy felt bad
Judy felt trapped, Charlie felt sad

You see, Judy had another guy, something to hide
Grass looked greener on the other side
Charlie kept calling trying to get her home
But Judy wouldn't answer her mobile phone

Charlie got lonely and Charlie got fat
Charlie just stayed in the empty flat
Everything he looked at spoke her name
Judy was gone and but she’d left the pain, yeah

Well then Judy came back and said "honey I’m wrong"
Charlie said "baby you been gone too long
Nobody answered when I called your name
Too late baby I’m not the same, no"

Charlie stood up, Judy sat down
Stared out the window, wouldn’t turn round
Judy said baby "don’t you care for me"
Charlie said "this ain’t how it’s s’posed to be"

Charlie walked slowly through the open door
Judy sat crying on the bedroom floor
He never came back, never called again
Was once his lover but never his friend, no
