I called all of
The Magdalenes
In the phonebook hoping
That I would see
The one in the magazine
She was there last week
In a red dress
Under the willow tree
But since that happened
My luck's ran out then
With the pages turning
Thanks to gusts of wind
She was older than I
Born in '89
But I've been pretty wise
For my age
Ooh
And it's a slap in the face
You'd be amazed
At what life I gave
Ooh
And if you come across a name
Well I won't beg
But please don't go away
Wednesday morning
I woke up sore from
All the running I did
The night before
Thinking what's worse than
Some of your oldest friends
Who'd rather see you in
A great deal of pain
Chased the sidewalk
For 95 blocks
With the crazy idea that
I'd come across
My Magdalene
It was just her and me
What else would if be
If you knew me
Ooh
And it's a slap in the face
You'd be amazed
At what life I gave
Ooh
And if you come across a name
Well I won't beg
But please don't go away
Please don't go away
