Lyrics Came and Went - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Came and Went

When you needed money
You came to me
It was no problem
That was plain to see
Yet when I needed some company
You promised you’d pay me a call
But you came and went so quickly
I didn’t know
You had been here at all
When there was a war on
You came crawling to me
There seemed no better place
That you’d rather be
Yet when it was over you told me
You’d come back and pay me a call
But you came and went so quickly
I didn’t know
You had been here at all
What does it mean
What does it prove
If I get my
Own back on you
Revenge is sweet
But so are peas
And not the ones
Alphabetically
My hands are cold
Legs are like ice
I’m on the beach
Weather is nice
The wind comes up
It starts to snow
My hands get warm
My feet they glow
Oh I can remember
Things you used to say
But what sticks in my mind most
Is the way
You hurt me so much
When you left me
Although you promised you’d pay me a call
But you came and went so quickly
I didn’t know
You had been here at all
