Intro: |2x Verse: 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 Verse 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 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 |2x Verse 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 Outro |4x
