Sade - Maureen Lyrics






Maureen
It's hard to explain
I'm never going to see you again
And you'll never meet my new friends
Maureen, I miss you
I just can't explain
I'm never going to see you again
I wish you could meet my new friends

Walking along the subway listening to
Loving you is easy acapella
You were a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you, Maureen

We're as thick as thieves

Maureen maureen
Remember when my mother said to me
Sade don't you come home to late
Till you're back I stay awake

And maureen
With the boys you could tell at a glance
You'd say he looks good
Let'd hope he can dance
Wicky wacky party to the..

Where are we going tonight
And what will you be wearing
Shone like a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you maureen, I miss you girl

You were my best friend
I'm never going to see you again, maureen
And you'll never meet my new friends
You really were a pearl in my world, maureen

Maureen
It's hard to explain
You'll never call round to see me again
You'll never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
[Repeat to fade]

  1. N.... H....

    I have a maureen. She finally got cleaned 2 years going strong n one day. She thinks she can handle it n she shoots up one more time the amount where she left off. & O.D. barely made it to the E.R, but passed away from doing a speed ball, for those who don't know what that is? Its Heroin n speed. :"""" I still think about her every day n miss her :"""(

    Happy Birthday Sade!!! 1/16/2020

  4. D.... k....

    You might say it's kind of vapid that Sades largest instinct is that her dead friend, ( or whoever) will never meet her new friends. I think it's just a person who finds it hard to Express themselves, ( were not all born poets.) & it may seem sort of a shallow afterthought, but it actually speaks volumes. And, that's what's lovely about it. It's understatement.

  5. M.... E....

    I just heard this played on SiriusXM Watercolors. 'Maureen' is one of my favorite songs. I'm so happy that it's still getting airtime. This song certainly deserves it!

  6. G.... ....

    87 I remember first hearing this song or was it 86? Either way timeless and great song.

    One of my good friends passed away January 12, 2009 at the age of 29. 2 months shy of his 30th birthday. Some days I still think he's going to come around a corner with a great big smile on his face. I would like to wonder that. 😢 I miss him dearly.

  28. M.... 4....

    I love this song; I don’t remember it at all. I heard it on the oldies station yesterday and had to call & find out the name of it. I recognized Sade voice but not the song. Very smooth

  29. p.... g....

    This song always remind my oldest brother that was in the army he always come DC play this song in his burgundy car I had to been 9,10, or 11 when this came the 80s were fun the music was better

  31. D.... k....

    Damn, I totally forgot about this one !!!

  32. D.... J....

    I have lost many battle buddies in war. I grew up listening to Sade as a child, but recently came across this song. When I first heard it, I thought I was going to cry. I can feel this song in my soul.

  33. A.... F....

    Thanks !

  34. B.... T....

    Makes me think of my aunt who passed March 20th and her mom, my grandma, passed exactly 3 months after her on June 20th. My grandma died a day after her 90th bday. I miss them so much. The heart ache of realizing they are no longer here is still hard on me but this song soothes my mind. One of my favorites by Sade.

  35. j.... W....

    Just lovely.

  36. L.... S....

    I have been inspired by you for years i cant count i love your music style and culture.

  37. Y.... Y....

    Who is Maureen?

  38. J.... J....

    Esta cancion se la dedico a Guadalupe Roy.....

  39. E.... R....

    Perfection

  40. L.... ....

    Sade was and still is the best smooth and so sexy she dominated the 80s and sound better than any of today's singers

  41. K.... S....

    Such a very sad song. Still lovin´ it.

  42. L.... R....

    My friend died 28-7-2019 miss her ❤️❤️❤️

  43. M.... ....

    Man this is such an underrated Sade song

  44. S.... ....

    This might be my favorite song by Sade....the travesty is that I have NEVER heard this played on the radio. This is one of her funkiest songs....you can't help but bounce your feet/legs. Perfect driving song. I would have easily chose this song for the Best Of Sade album over Jezebel or Please Send Me Someone To Love. *Also* she says her own name in the song, so there should be no confusion about how to say her name had this song been popular.

  45. F.... M....

    Thank you Sade ♥️✨

  46. F.... M....

    My name is Maureen 💕🥰

  47. J.... M....

    RIH to my Grandmother Helen. I've had kids since you have left, and I tell them about you all the time. 😟 I wish you could have met them. I Love you Mama!💖💖💖💖💖

  56. S.... S....

    This reminds me of my sister, Karen, who passed several weeks ago. We use to play Sade's music back in the '80's and we loved it. "...it's hard to explain...never meet my new friends."

  57. I.... A....

    My name s Maureen, and I never thought there would be a song about a Maureen, and To know that Sade wrote this, it's a dream! It is a sad song, she must have really loved her friend.I was born the same year as Sade, I feel a connection, maybe in another Life I will meet her.

  58. S.... H....

    Missing you my brother Phillip Jeffery Plater 11-22-71 - 10-01-1988. Still hurts. Thank you Sade for this song, it helps me.
