[Verse 1]
Pour out the wine, little girl
I've got just two friends in this whole wide world
Here's to reckless lovers
We all need somebody

[Verse 2]
Stashed in the yellow Jag
I've got my life and laundry in a Gladstone bag
You should know the program
Just one red rose and a tender goodbye (one last goodbye)

[Chorus]
And I run to the second arrangement
It's only the natural thing
Le roué steps out with no regrets
A sparkling conscience
A new address
When I run to the second arrangement
The home of a mutual friend
Now's the time to redefine the first arrangement again

[Bridge]
It's a sticky situation
A serious affair
I must explain it to you somehow
Right now I'll just move back one square
[Verse 3]
Here comes that noise again
Another scrambled message from my last best friend
Something I can dance to
A song with tears in it

[Verse 4]
Old friends abandon me
It's just the routine politics of jealousy
Someday we'll remember
That one red rose and one last goodbye, one last goodbye

[Chorus]
Then I run to the second arrangement
It's only the natural thing
Le roué steps out with no regrets
A sparkling conscience
A new address
When I run to the second arrangement
The home of a mutual friend
Now's the time to redefine the first arrangement again
