And I have phonographic record of Mandy. According to Barry she came and she gave without taking but he didn't mention what colors she was wearing.
Tragically, he sent her away (presumably, before cataloging the color of her attire).
All in all, it seems that Mr. Manilow may be implying that we also won't fully appreciate how badly we need the eponymous Mandy until we've shortsightedly cast her away.
There is still hope, however... I've heard the same fellow discuss a saucy little number named Lola who may or may not be on the market after seeing her beloved fatally wounded in a battle over her honor. How effective are the recruiting connections we have north of Havana?
