Intro: – }x2
Stanza1:
Now and then
Do you wash your hands of me again?
Wish me anywhere but home
–
Drunk and on the end of your phone
(Intro)
Stanza 2:
From time to time
Do you guess what's really on my mind?
Guess that "How you keeping now?"
Means "Where are you sleeping now?"
Chorus:
But of course it's not polite
To ask you where you spent last night
And if I did you might reply
That I have no right
And anyway I'm fine
Glad that you're no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
(Intro)
Stanza 3:
You'd be appalled
If you knew what I was doing
When you called
Yes, I can see I'm blundering
And I always end up wondering
Chorus 2:
Will it ever be all right
To ask you where you spent last night
And can it be polite
The way we never write
Of course I don't have the time,
And anyway I'm fine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die

Chorus 3:
Oh, I know it's not polite
To ask you where you spent last night
And if I did you might reply
That I have no right
And anyway I'm fine
Now you're no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die

…I hope we never die
