when we were kids we played dress ups
and now we just play up
looking back on all my childhood memories
when we´d fight we wouldn´t have to break up
when I´d sneak out I didn´t need to slap on some aftershave
that would probably gibe me away
I gotta ask myself some hometruths
cause on the face of it
I just can´t see how we can make up
Refrain
she wasn´t play acting when I heard her tell her friends on the phone
"I need a wife, a lover, a sister, a nanny and a nurse
I can´t play so many roles at once"
cause when we were kids we were wearing daddy´s oversize suit
and slipping out of mumma´s shoes and now we´re just a breaking apart
