It Came Undone
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When i was twenty-one
It Was A Very Good Year

Did What They Could
His managers sweated
They did what they could
They schemed
And they wheedled -
But it did no good
The months slid by
The title hung high
No pansies need apply

Quarrel We Had
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darlin i need you, lately i find
You're out of my heart
And i'm out of my mind
