You Said
SONG COMPOSERS, LYRICS AND BACKGROUND
LYRICS
You said you’re leaving well that’s okay
You said you’ve had enough what can I say
I suppose I’ll be sad for a week or two
But in the end it’s the same for me and you
We’ll both be sorry through and through
You said you’re leaving well that’s okay
You said you’ve had enough what can I say
I suppose I’ll be sad for a week or two
But in the end it’s the same for me and you
We’ll both be sorry through and through
Me and you
You must stop doing this you’ve got to change
‘cos you hold all the cards you’ve got the range
Every time you go away I get to think
You said you’re leaving
You said this you said
You said that
You said you don’t want to see me no more
You said you don’t want me to come to your door
You said you said
I suppose I’ll be sad for a week or two
But in the end it’s the same for me and you
We’ll both be sorry through and through
Yes we do

BACKGROUND
Suggs says that my memory could be more precise with many songs he wrote with Mike. From what I recall, this tune was written by Mike in the days when we rehearsed in the disused dentist surgery in Finchley. Mike had the title and some of the words, and I wrote the rest—a simple story of a girl leaving a boy. At the time, it sounded rather Elvis Costello-ish. I may be wrong.
