When your name crops up in conversations

I try and change the subject fast

Cos people stop me in the street and they say boy 

Well how much longer will it last?

And I just wonder baby

Will it go on forever? 

Will it cease soon or never?

Can this be my my my last endeavour

To keep this crazy romance of ours together?

Well, you you maybe slick 

The way you swing those pretty lips may turn

All the other men  on

And you can say all the right things that your good teaching brings but you better 

Jet set cos you’re the one

But I just wonder baby

Will it go on forever? 

Will it cease soon or never?

Can this be my my my last endeavour

To keep this crazy romance of ours together?

Don’t you look at me with that kind of look

And think that you’re gonna get your way

Because this seething I’m feeling with your underhand dealing

I couldn’t begin to say

You can stand there laughing, pretend it’s all happening

I see you through the gap in the crowd

Sipping your vodka martini playing ‘who can see me’ well

Yes my dear, you look so fine

But I just wonder baby

Will it go on forever? 

Will it cease soon or never?

Can this be my my my last endeavour

To keep this crazy romance of ours together?
