Maureen

[Verse 1]

Maureen

It's hard to explain

Never gonna see you again

And you'll never meet my new friends

[Verse 2]

Maureen, I miss you

I just can't explain

Never gonna see you again

I wish you could meet my new friends

[Verse 3]

Walking along the subway, listening to

"Loving You Is Easy" acappella

You were a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-cart town

And I'll miss you, Maureen

[Interlude]

We're as thick as thieves

[Verse 4]

Maureen, Maureen

Remember when my mother said to me

"Sade, don't you come home too late

'Til you're back, I stay awake"?

[Verse 5]

And Maureen

With boys, you could tell at a glance

You'd say, "He looks good, let's hope he can dance"

"Wicky Wacky (Party To The...)"

[Verse 6]

Where are we going tonight?

And what will you be wearing?

Shone like a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-cart town

And I miss you, Maureen

I miss you, girl

[Verse 7]

You were my best friend

Never gonna see you again, Maureen

And you'll never meet my new friends

You really were a pearl in my world, Maureen

[Verse 8]

Maureen

It's hard to explain

You'll never call around to see me again

You'll never meet my new friends

[Outro]

Never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends (Oooh...)

Never meet my new friends
