Maxine, well have you been?

Maxine, long time no see

Maxine, such a surprise

Maxine, just look out tonight



I hear you been livin' in Paris

Under an assumed fame

They say that you've been married

If not in passion at least in name

Damn you, girl, it still hurts me

No man was ever safe, yeah

Taming the shrew comes easy

If any man knew your taste, Maxine



Maxine, how times have changed

Maxine, well nothing's the same

Maxine, everything's gone

Maxine, your home ain't your own



You suit those European clothes

In a foreign sort of way

You still wear that air of distinction

In your fatefully stunning way

Damn you, girl, it still hurts me

And the years just made it worse

In fact our love is divided

Between the blessed and the cursed, Maxine



Maxine, don't bring back the past

Maxine, life is too fast

Maxine, oh everything's changed

Maxine, nothing's the same

Maxine, Maxine



I do remember, do you remember

I still remember, do you remember

I still remember, do you still -



Maxine [Repeat and fade with ad lib
