Nothing, let’s talk 'bout, about nothing
Talk about nothing, gonna fade away
Dear Allen, I’m getting married
I want to see if you object
Dear Allen, I, I miss your motives
I miss your need to self protect
Allen, I never knew why you withdrew
And took your sweet love away
You remember dancing down at Guido’s
While outside it rained?
Dear Allen, I have not heard from you
Want to make sure you’re okay
Oh dear Allen, I ruined your idea of marriage
Did you think you’d see me here today?
Allen, I don’t know why, it was always do or die
And your love, you had to constrain
Like there’s something else besides Guido’s
You thought you had to attain
Allen, I don’t know why, it was always do or die
And you treated me like some stain
Spilling out of a bottle of beer at Guido’s
'Cause you wanted cheap champagne
Hey Allen, thanks for the memories
I hope you learned how to connect
Send a letter, drop a postcard
Or be like me, just call collect
Allen, I think I know why it was you had to go
Took your sweet love away
I will always remember dancing down at Guido’s
Even after the rain
