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
|
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
|
So 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
|
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
|
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
|
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
|
|

|
Closer Than Most

Beautiful South |
