lyrics

I wish you would recognize me
with a little more than a smile
I’m trying so hard to impress you
that I think I’m going out of my mind

With your calamine cheeks and your long black hair
hanging halfway down your back
I wish I was ten years older
but I can’t do much about that

You don’t know that you’re beautiful
And I think that’s half the appeal
I hope one day that I’ll find the courage
To tell you how I feel

But I probably won’t, no I probably won’t
And it’s too late anyway

Cos you’re getting married in the morning
And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning
On me
You’re getting married in the morning
And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning
On me, on me,
on me, on me.

Your strange sense of humour and your tender voice
They penetrate my soul
You float like an angel across the carpet tiles
I can’t help but watch you go

You pass on breakfast and lunch
And just have a salad for your tea
Trying to stay thin to impress your man
God I wish that it was me

You don’t know that you’re beautiful
And I think that’s half the appeal
I hope one day that I’ll find the courage
To tell you how I feel

But I probably won’t, no I probably won’t
And it’s too late anyway

Cos you’re getting married in the morning
And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning
On me
You’re getting married in the morning
And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning
On me, on me,
on me, on me.

So don’t marry him. Wait,
I’ll give you everything
No don’t marry him, wait,
I’ll give you everything, everything that I can give.
