Once there was a time |
|
when my mind lay on higher things |
|
And once there was a time |
|
I could find pretty words to sing |
|
But now, well now I find |
|
it saves time to say what you mean |
|
I know it seems so unrefined |
|
but it's time to let off some steam |
|
Oh come on! |
|
Everybody knows that No means Yes |
|
just like glasses come free on the N.H.S. |
|
But the more I look through them the more I see |
|
I'm becoming more like Alfie |
|
Once there was a time |
|
when a kind word could be enough |
|
And once there was a time |
|
I could blindfold myself with love |
|
But not now - now I'm resigned |
|
to the kind of life I had reserved |
|
for other guys less smart than I |
|
Y'know - the kind who will always end up with the girls |
|
And besides |
|
everybody knows that No means Yes |
|
just like glasses come free on the N.H.S. |
|
But the more I look through them the more I see |
|
I'm becoming more like Alfie |
|
Oh come on! |
