Lyrics transcribed from the booklet included with the "My Maudlin Career" CD. Parts in brackets were erronesouly left out of the booklet lyrics despite obviously being a part of the song. Parts enclosed in parentheses are in the booklet lyrics despite not actually being in the recorded version. Sans the bracketed and parenthetical parts, everything else from the booklet checks out to my ears.
James he came to my place
He said he had to see my face
He hopes that we can still be friends
In his own way he'll love me until the end
[And] James he came to the door
Wanting to know for sure
Why love gets up and goes
I'm sorry but it had no place to grow
Oh James my love for you is stronger don't you know?
I'd like to celebrate you dear
All in all it's been a pretty good year
I looked deep (inside) [within] my self
I got scared by just how hard I fell
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
You and me
Honey and Bee
Sun and the Moon
I'll be fine by June
I could tell that you worried well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
Can't you see you belong with me
I could tell [that] you weren't well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
