Lyrics
[Verse 1]

Martha my dear

Though I spend my days in conversation

Please

Remember me

Martha, my love

Don't forget me

Martha my dear

[Bridge 1]

Hold your head up, you silly girl

Look what you've done

When you find yourself in the thick of it

Help yourself to a bit of what's all around you

Silly girl

[Bridge 2]

Take a good look around you

Take a good look around to see

That you and me

Were meant to be, for each other

Silly girl

[Bridge 1]

Hold your hand out, you silly girl

See what you've done

When you find yourself in the thick of it

Help yourself to a bit of what's all around you

Silly girl

[Verse 2]

Martha my dear

You have always been my inspiration

Please

Be good to me

Martha my love

Don't forget me

Martha my dear
