Oh, Sunday came, promised you'd tell her
She sat up in bed, answered your call dear
Smeared purple and red

You're gonna leave her tonight
She sat up with her eyes wide
You fell in love with a girl you knew
You've come to say goodbye

You're gonna leave her tonight
Under a cheap July sky
Tell her, tell Mary

After the first touch, her skirt boring
Her voice deep and charming at first
You could make her come back once in a while
If you painted a fresco, that she'd be with her powder half falling, odd
So perfect from far

You're gonna leave her tonight
She sat up with her eyes wide
You fell in love with a girl you knew
You've come to say goodbye

You're gonna leave her tonight
Under a cheap July sky
Tell her, tell Mary
Tell her, tell Mary

Meet me at the pictures Mary
Adam said that he was leaving
Meet me at the pictures Mary
Adam said that he was leaving
Meet me, meet me, you're gonna leave her tonight

You're gonna leave her tonight
She sat up with her eye's wide
You fell in love with a girl you knew
With a girl you knew

You're gonna leave her tonight
She sat up with her eyes open wide
You fell in love with a girl you knew
And you've come to say goodbye

You're gonna leave her tonight
Under a cheap July sky
Tell her, tell Mary, tell her, tell Mary
Tell her, tell Mary

Oh, Sunday came, promised you'd tell her
She sat up in bed, answered your call dear
