i can't believe you met nancy /
living down in london town /
well, her life's the stuff of fables /
and though i never really knew nancy /
we grew up pretty much the same /
on streets with painted gables /
with the beatles in our cradles /
where are you going and where have you been? /
nancy, is your life falling in? /
is the world too cold for you? /
because the world's too cold for me /
i kicked and scratched and stumbled /
i lost a spark along the way /
well i guess it's only natural /
and now i can't believe you met nancy /
you know, her daddy helped me out /
with a painting of the mccartneys /
in feathercuts and moonboots /
where are you going and where have you been? /
nancy, is your life falling in? /
is the world too cold for you? /
because the world's too cold for me /
and do your old friends say that your accent's gone? /
if you're lonely can you turn it on? /
can you get it back? /
can you get it back?
