Comments:
The photo below was taken in the Great Hall at Chateau de Marouatte, in the Perigord region of France.  Left to right: Jim Vallance, Mark Hudson, Marie Wilson. 

Parts of the castle date from the 13th century, but the Great Hall, if I recall, is a "modern" addition (built in the 1600's).
 
Lyrics:
  CD single
I heard you knockin' on my front door
I know what you wanted to say
I found the letter you left lyin' there
I threw it away

What do you take me for - some kind of silly fool
I never asked for much - I only wanted you
Now I just wanna say baby
If this is goodbye, then its your turn to cry

Next time - things will be different baby
Next time - everything is gonna change
Next time - it won't be so easy

I swear to God there will never be a next time

I'm not the person I was yesterday
When I wanted you near
Now there's a part of me that's gone away
I can see it so clear

What do you want from me - do you take me for a fool
Don't wanna live a lie - I only want the truth
Now its my turn to say baby
If that's the way you treat a friend
Then this is the end

Next time - things will be different baby
Next time - everything is gonna change
Next time - it won't be so easy

I swear to God there will never be a next time

I finally figured it out - what you're all about
And I think it's a crime'
I was wastin' my time - ya, ya, ya

SOLO

What do you take me for - some kind of silly fool
There ain't no in between - it's only win or lose
Now I just wanna say baby
I'm gonna find somebody new - and it ain't you!

Next time - things will be different baby
Next time - everything is gonna change
Next time - it wouldn't be so easy
Next time - everything, everything

Next time - oh ya
Next time - everything is gonna change
Next time - it won't be so easy

I swear to God there will never be a next time
