Intro: (x2) verse 1 I'm not the kind to complain that I never had a girl to love. Many fine girl I tried hard to know, but I think I never tried enough. Sitting one day by myself, and I'm thinking,"What could be wrong?" When this funny little Hedgehog comes running up to me, and it starts up to sing me this song. Oh, you know all the words, and you sung all the notes, but you never quite learned the song, she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes, that you never quite learned the song. Instrumental Bridge (x2) verse 2 Every day when the sun go down, and the evening is so very still, Many a fine girl I've held in my arms, and I hope there's many more that I will, But just when everything is going fine, and absolutely nothing is wrong, This funny little Hedgehog's always around And every time he wants to sing me this song. Oh, you know all the words, and you sung all the notes, but you never quite learned the song, she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes, that you never quite learned the song. Instrumental Bridge x2 verse 3 One day when the moon was full I thought I might settle down, Found myself a pretty little girl, and I stopped all my running around; But just when the preacher come along, and he's just gonna pop on the ring, This funny little Hedgehog comes running down the aisle, And I don't have to tell you what he did sing. Oh, you know all the words, and you sung all the notes, but you never quite learned the song, she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes, that you never quite learned the song. Instrumental Bridge x2 Verse 4 I'm not the kind to complain, that I never had a girl to love; Many fine girls I've tried hard to know, but I think I never tried enough. But now I'll be looking all my days, and it isn't just me I got to please, There's this funny little Hedgehog Who's always around, And the only words he ever sings to me are these. Oh, you know all the words, and you sung all the notes, but you never quite learned the song, she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes, that you never quite learned the song. Instrumental Bridge x2 Outro I'm not the kind to compl- ai-n
