About Maureen

Sade Adu told the New York Times about the song on November 27, 1985: “‘Maureen’ is personally my favorite song on the album, because it’s about a friend who died five years ago,” she continued. “I didn’t want it to be sad or self-indulgent but to represent the joy and good times we had together. I think of it as a happy tribute. The song came almost like magic. It was written in two hours.” .

Maureen Lyrics

[00:05.02] Maureen
[00:09.23] It's hard to explain
[00:13.98] Never gonna see you again
[00:18.64] And you'll never meet my new friends
[00:25.20] Maureen, I miss you
[00:29.32] I just can't explain
[00:33.73] Never gonna see you again
[00:37.78] I wish you could meet my new friends
[00:44.67] Walking along the subway listening to
[00:50.05] Loving you is easy acapella
[00:55.19] You were a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-cart town
[00:59.33] And I miss you, Maureen
[01:09.17] We're as thick as thieves
[01:12.31]
[01:25.36] Maureen, Maureen
[01:28.45] Remember when my mother said to me
[01:34.03] "Sade, don't you come home too late
[01:38.45] 'Til you're back, I stay awake"
[01:45.04] And Maureen
[01:48.40] With the boys you can tell at a glance
[01:54.36] You'd say, "He looks good
[01:58.57] Let's hope he can dance"
[02:01.31] Wicky wacky party to the-
[02:04.28] Where are we going tonight?
[02:08.36] And what will you be wearing?
[02:12.41] Mm-mmm
[02:14.13] Shone like a souped-up car rent-a-go-cart town
[02:19.01] And I miss you, Maureen
[02:22.77] I miss you, girl
[02:25.41]
[02:45.39] You were my best friend
[02:47.69] Never gonna see you again, Maureen
[02:53.49] And you'll never meet my new friends
[02:57.12] You really were a pearl in my world, Maureen
[03:04.43] Maureen
[03:08.98] It's hard to explain
[03:13.15] You never call 'round to see me again
[03:18.44] You'll never meet my new friends
[03:23.60] Never meet my new friends
[03:28.39] Never meet my new friends
[03:33.62] Never meet my new friends
[03:38.18] Never meet my new friends
[03:43.35] Never meet my new friends
[03:48.32] Never meet my new friends
[03:53.11] Never meet my new friends
[03:58.32] Never meet my new friends
[04:03.49] Never meet my new friends
[04:08.47] Never meet my new friends
[04:12.85] Never meet my new friends
[04:15.74]
