Irish Selection 1984:
Girl Talk - "Problems"

Problems

Dear Mary, what am I to do?
This is just a peek-a-boo love affair
I'm just a girl in love
Isn't it a sin?
I just can't get through to him

I keep turning on the light
'Cause I never sleep at night
Only memories of loving him
Keep running through my head

Keep smoking cigarettes
Just to help me to forget
While I'm lying here and wishing he
Was lying by my side

Dear Mary, what am I to do?
This is just a peek-a-boo love affair
I'm just a girl in love
Isn't it a sin?
I just can't get through to him

I spend most my day in bed
With a pillow on my head
I can't face the daytime or the nighttime
If he's not around

And the mirror on my wall
Doesn't look the same at all
And I fail to recognise the girl
Staring back at me

Dear Mary, what am I to do?
This is just a peek-a-boo love affair
I'm just a girl in love
Isn't it a sin?
I just can't get through to him

Tell me what to do to make him love me
Answer me and make my life complete
Put me into print and make me happy
Then, Mary, maybe I can get some sleep

Dear Mary, what am I to do?
This is just a peek-a-boo love affair
I'm just a girl in love
Isn't it a sin?
I just can't get through to him

I juѕt cаn't get through to him
