Deirdre
The trouble you had
It wasn't so bad
It's only life and what you're livin' for
Sit down right here
I'll send away your tears
Well we don't have to talk about it much more
Good things turn bad but it's over now
So don't look sad 'cause you're older now
Lots of people miss Deirdre
You're back again
You still have all your friends
And they used to ask me why'd you go away Deirdre
Oo hoo hooo
What could I say
That you ran away
Don't you think it's time that you stayed right near me
These nights, pretty nights, that were meant to be
With you and me
It's the way that we
Always had our love, Deirdre
I love your red hair
Deirdre
Do do do do do do
Dear dear dear Deirdre
I'm glad you're home again
Oo ooo ooo
Ooo hoooo
Oooo hoooo
Baby 1 2 3 and you're back with me
Ooo hooo
Tomorrow at ten
I'll wake you and then
We'll take a bath and then I'll laugh again with Deirdre
You may not live with me every day
All that I care is that we find a way
To stay together with Deirdre
Deirdre
Do do do do do do
Dear dear dear Deirdre
Ooo do do do do do do
Ooo do do do do do do
