Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open
|
and it made me long for little last night
|
Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet
|
But a sweet worth every bite
|
|
Now I'm not normally one to be greedy
|
But I had to be greedy with you
|
5 days, 6 days. the whole of the month
|
wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth
|
|
|
[chorus]
|
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
|
It can take a lifetime to get close
|
But we took all the shortcuts,
|
used our hearts as a map
|
and we still got closer than most
|
|
hey hey
|
hey hey hey hey
|
hey hey hey hey
|
hey hey hey hey
|
|
|
Well excuse my staring but it's just your looks
|
are a standard well above myself
|
Your face might mean zip to you
|
But to me it's something else
|
|
All I can do is thank you
|
and wish that every dream you have will come true
|
5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life
|
I'll be wishing for the riches for you
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
You dashed pretty's only chance of a compliment
|
and gave the plain the blues
|
Turned supermodel into last year's pull
|
and got her down shining your shoes
|
|
And I don't mean to be hod carrier
|
of the ordinary folks bad news
|
But tell Miss World to fly to Mars
|
If she really doesn't like to lose.
|
|
[chorus]
