Yvonnes the One by Paul McCartney Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1986

[Chorus]
Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, "hold on, you’re not the only one"
And so I said so long Yvonne

[Verse 1]
When I first saw Yvonne, volcanoes erupted
And laughter flowed into my life
She seemed all right, nothing wrong
Everything about her was so strong
But I know no one’s gonna keep us apart

[Chorus]
Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, "hold on, you’re not the only one"
And so I said so long Yvonne

[Verse 2]
When I saw her again, I was caught in a landslide
But I didn’t dare let it show
Her ruby lips were teasing me
But jealousy would never let us be
So always gonna keep us apart
[Bridge]
She never knew how much I loved her
I never got to tell her
We never found a way to say farewell
Yvonne

Yvonne

[Verse 3]
When I last saw Yvonne, she was covered in roses
But sadness had ended her life
She walked so tall, she looked so tan
Everything about her was so grand
But what you get is not what you see
So long, Yvonne, you’re not fooling me

[Chorus]
Yvonne, Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, "hold on, you’re not the only one"
And so I said so long Yvonne

Yvonne, Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, "hold on, you’re not the only one"
And so I said so long Yvonne

[Outro]
So long Yvonne
