the raincoats - don't be mean lyrics

i saw you out walking down westbourne grove
you caught my eye and your arm it rose
it rose in the sky, oh ever so high
but it wasn’t, my dear, to wave to me
it was simply to hail a big black taxi
which you jumped in as fast as you possibly could
well you know my dear i’m not made of wood
and my name may be birch dear, but i’m not a tree
and i can see you ignoring me
and i’m beginning to think
though i’m open to sway
even when we’re old and grey
i think you might see me and look the other way
just like you did only the other day
we’ll sit in th park with our grandchildren dear
and you’ll catch my eye and shout come over here
but it won’t be me that you’re calling dear
it’ll be your young jimmy or jenny or jack
and one of us will have near heart attack
grandad, grandad what’s wrong with you
why oh why are we rushing to the zoo
shut up jimmy stop your talking
grab my hand and keep on walking
and i’m beginning to think
though i’m open to sway
even when we’re old and grey
i think you might see me and simply look the other way
just like you did only the other day
i know that you’ll say this is all in my mind
and i’m pr-ne to delusions
and things of that kind
well now it’s been well over a year
and there’s no more time for shadding a tear
yes you left and i behaved badly
but you know at that time
i loved you so madly
don’t be mean don’t be mean, don’t be mean don’t be mean
don’t be mean don’t be mean, don’t be mean don’t be mean
and i’m beginning to think
though i’m open to sway
that even when we’re old and grey
i think you might see me and look the other way
just like you did only the other day
goodbye dear
goodbye
