“Who was it that came to see you
when there was no one else in sight?
And who was it that stayed over an hour
(and not as I'd expected, overnight)?
It was me, and I'll tell you why:
Oh, I did it because of my
pure unabashed devotion to loving
(pure unabashed devotion to loving)
you, you, you, you.
Who was it that caught you falling?”

“I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me, no
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know.”

Stevie Nicks (1948) American singer and songwriter, member of Fleetwood Mac

“So where did you go to, who did you see?
How did you know I’d be there?
Oh, and did you remember not to forget?
Tell me cos I don’t...
Tell me cos I don’t care
Don’t care.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter
