[Intro]
The pound is sinking, the peso's falling
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
[Verse 1]

I knew you for a minute
Oh, it didn't happen only for a minute
Your heart just wasn't in it anymore
Mmm, hmm
[Outro]
The pound is sinking, the peso's falling
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
Ooh, ooh, ooh
