Well, this is a good idea
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't one
Well, my friend fancies you
Oh, what a way to begin it all
You said they're always exciting words to hear
And they woke up together not quite realising how
Akwardly stretching and yawning
It's always hard in the morning
And I suppose that's the price you pay
Oh, it isn't what it was
She's thinking he looks different today
And, oh, there's nothing left to guess now
They left before the lights came on
Because they didn't want to ruin
What it was that was brewing before they absolutely had to
And how can you wake up
With someone you don't love?
And not feel slightly fazed by it, oh, he had a struggle
And they woke up together not quite realising how
Oh, but he's stretching and yawning
It's always hard in the morning
And I suppose that's the price you pay
Oh, well, it isn't what it was
She's thinking he looks different today
And, oh, there's nothing left to guess now
Quick, let's leave, before the lights come on
'Cos then you don't have to see
'Cos then you don't have to see what you've done
Quick, let's leave, before the lights come on
'Cos then you don't have to see
'Cos then you don't have to see what you've done
(I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?)
(I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?)
(I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?)
