It seemed like a good idea And I know that i should have known better No, it's not the way it was meant to be We only tried to make you play the game It's not the way you turned away It's only that you never stayed the same And now I hate it when I lie You only cried each time I tried to tell you why And that my life was only yesterday Madeleine! Madelaine! I never tried to drive her away We only ever wanted you to stay And when I touch her without pain And when you touch it hurts the same And it almost destroyed my life And that was yesterday Madeleine! Madelaine! Madelaine-aine-aine! And now I'm waiting for a word Just like I'm waiting for your words to come before And as I came to say goodbye I saw you through her door And then you kissed but you already knew Just when and how she stole my life And all my yesterdays Madeleine! Madelaine! Madeleine! Madelaine-aine-aine!
