Memorable Lyrics:

• "You came along just in time my love/Self pity had got me down/You saved me from me, and from the bottom of my heart/Baby I owe you something good"
• "And then you came and rectified/All the love this old heart had been denied/Then you saved me like you said you would/For this, I owe you something good"
