I've been thinking about you I've been picturing your face I've been wondering what you're doing Every second of every day I've been thinking about you lately You're on my mind constantly I've been thinking about you baby Hope you've been thinking bout me I've been thinking about u darlin' I've been imagining your smile I've been sitting by my telephone And feeling nervous to dial
2.
Oh sparks are flying and it's plain for anybody to see... Girl you and I have got some crazy chemistry! I could tell the moment that you walked in through the door It's never been like this before Is it really possible for two people to click just like this? I didn't think a bond like ours could actually exist This thing between us goes beyond my wildest dreams It surely can't be how it seems… Unhang the calendar and leave the clocks unwound No one move nobody even make a sound I've hit the jackpot but I've got no idea how So lets keep everything exactly as it is right now
3.
There's always something urgent that requires your attention There's always some big meeting or a tradeshow or convention But when you're not away on business in New York or Tokyo and you find an idle second, I'm always the first to know You don't have time for your mother You don't have time for lunch You've always got too many things to do and people you need to see But you find the time for me There's always some giant party that you're desperate to attend It's always the birthday of one of your billions of best friends Your calendar is booked up 30 weekends in advance But I know you'll come and find me when you get the slightest chance I'm always thrilled to see you when you turn up late at night Your breath might smell of gin but girl it's perfume in my mind You'll stumble into bed with me and pass out on my chest And you'll be gone when I wake up but I'l still think you are the best
4.
Nothing lasts forever Or so I've been told You don't have to love me I don't have to get old When you leave! It's not a matter of 'if' When you leave! The thought scares me stiff It won't be enough to sit around and cry When you leave I'll wanna die I know everything ends I'm fully aware But the thought of going on without you Is just too much to bare I could slit my wrists I could swallow some pills I could jump off a building I could blow my brains out baby I could throw myself under a bus when you leave I could stick my head in the oven No it won't be enough when you leave When you leave I wanna die
5.
I think you've made a mistake It's not one I thought you were likely to make You're clearly confused and you're not thinking straight It's probably just hormones or something you ate You're gonna miss me the moment I'm gone You'll wanna kiss me as soon as you can't Sleep well tonight, because when you wake You'll realise you've made a mistake I don't think you've quite thought this through And it's so not what I would expect you to do You're just being weird, I've got no doubt You've got no idea what you're talking about It might not be soon but eventually Something someone says will remind you of me And you'll go to bed with me stuck in your head When you wake up you'll wish that you were still asleep
6.
I'm going to a party and I'm Throwing caution to the wind Gonna make some bad decisions Feeling reckless and undisciplined Don't wait up 'cause I'll be out For who knows how long having fun Don't care what anyone thinks Tonight I'm getting drunk I'm getting all my girls together Gonna have a massive night We're gonna let our hair down Everything's gonna be alright! Don't wait up 'cause I'll be out For who knows how long having fun Don't care what anyone thinks Tonight I'm gonna get real drunk Don't wait up 'cause I'll be out Don't wait up 'cause I'll be out Don't wait up 'cause I'll be out Tonight I'm getting drunk So when I finally get home And I climb in to my bed all alone I can close my eyes confidently 'Cause I'll just go straight to sleep I'm going to a party
7.
It's for the best It's just not right It can't be helped Try as we might But if you ever change your mind I'll be around, oh! I'll be around There's nothing left For us to say I understand It's OK I'm not going to stop thinking you're great Take your time darling, 'cause I'm happy to wait

All the other girls are shit All the other girls have stupid haircuts and really ugly shoes All the other girls have got a an attitude they could stand to lose Some are deceiving and they seem like they might be nice But when you get to know them you will come to realise… I can go on dates with all the other girls, I can take them home I can have some fun with all the other girls but what's the point? It isn't something that I really want to do cos none of the other girls are anything like…
