Lyrics

Restaurant

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I worked so hard for that man

And he worked me to the bone

Said success won the lot

He bought that old factory

Cause the rich are born free

and thats how you want to be

So I looked down from the rooftops one night

And I knew I could go far if you never left my sight

But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.

This will never be what I want, and all I ever wanted was you.

He was a beggar on a horse

He was neither brave nor bold

He washed our job scared soals

He took the drinks from our hands

So I took you in my arms we watched the sun go down

Then I knew I had been taken for a fool

I took you for granted I took fate as a rule

But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.

This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you.

I need you now more than before

I need you now more than before

I need you to be there true and fair

If I prove myself here I'll prove it anywhere

But this'll never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.

This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you.

This'll never be what I want. [x4]
