THE WEDDING PRESENT - WATUSI (1994)
No, this is me
Well are you still there?
Tell me now, who did you think it would be?
Oh, why do I care?
I'm just kidding myself
Stop trying to be kind
Well you really thought it was somebody else
Oh never mind
I got it all wrong, maybe
But I'm saying "so long", baby!
Aside from all that I still think you're dreamy
You'll say you'll try harder we both know you won't
But where are you at girl, why won't you see me?
Maybe you love me and maybe you don't
I don't want to fight
But we've got things to discuss
Like why you don't come home every night
And what about us?
You're not going to win
I know you too well
You've already been to bed with him
Oh I can just tell
I got it all wrong, maybe
But I'm saying "so long", baby!
Aside from all that I still think you're dreamy
You'll say you'll try harder, we both know you won't
But where are you at girl, why won't you see me
Maybe you love me and maybe you don't
I really need to ask you whether
You and I can sleep together
I guess I never thought it mattered
Now, suddenly, I'm feeling flattered
Here's every last bit of me
No in between, just take whatever you see
I need you to love me and no one could mean
As much as you do to me
Come to me I want to breathe the air that you breathe
Come to me I want to follow you when you leave
Come to me I want to take you home and hide you
Come to me I always want to be beside you
Every last bit of me, no in between, just take whatever you see
I need you to love me and no one could mean
As much as you do to me
Every last bit of me, no in between, just take whatever you see
I need you to love me and no one could mean
As much as you do to me
Every last bit of me, no in between, just take whatever you see
I need you to love me and no one could mean
As much as you do to me
I really don't believe that this is happening
I've tried and tried and tried to think it through
Oh, I heard what you said, I'm just not answering
I guess I'm scared of what I'll have to do
You know that I'll come running to you when you call
You know I'll come, whatever you've got planned
You know you mix me up, I can't think straight at all
My head tells me I shouldn't be here at all
My heart says yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You've hypnotised me with those crazy eyes of yours
You've cracked me open like a coconut
You've got me crawlin' round and round you on all fours
My head tells me I shouldn't be here but
My heart says yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want you now, let's just take it all the way
I don't care how, I'll do anything you say
I want you now, let's just take it all the way
I don't care how, I'll do anything you say
And how on earth did I get myself into this?
And how much stranger is it going to get?
And how do you hold me prisoner with just a kiss?
My head tells me I shouldn't be here yet
My heart says yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Give it to him
I don't want it, I don't need it
I don't really care enough about it
I don't want it, I don't need it
I don't really care enough about it
The light is getting dim, give it to him
Give it to him, give it to him
You don't want me, you don't need me
You don't really care enough about me
You don't want me, you don't need me
You don't really care enough about me
The light is getting dim
Give it to him, give it to him
Give it to him, give it to him
I don't want it, I don't need it
I don't really care enough about it
I don't want it, I don't need it
I don't really care enough about it
The light is getting dim, give it to him
The light is getting dim
Give it to him, give it to him
Give it to him, give it to him
I knew it was you from the minute
You strolled into the gazebo like you'd never been gone
And if this is a game, well you'll win it
Oh, there were others, but you're still the first one
Your chair's right there, I guess you've seen it
It's funny how the years have gone and slipped away
Oh, but you haven't changed a bit...no, I mean it
And you still say things that no one else would say
Oh, sure, you amused me, but you also confused me
Then you turned round and used me
I thought I'd forget you, I didn't want to upset you
So you went and I let you
You wouldn't believe all the time that I've wasted
Staring at the photographs you've sent to me
But I remember, oh, exactly how you tasted
And just how much you really meant to me
Oh no, I'm seeing someone here, you don't know her
She's one in a million but she isn't you
And it could never be, well, quite as close as we were
I hate to say it, but I think it's true
Oh, sure, you amused me, but you also confused me
Then you turned round and used me
I thought I'd forget you, I didn't want to upset you
So you went and I let you
I've been through this already and I don't care what you've seen
I've changed so much since then, you want to take it steady, sure
But how long does that mean
Don't go home again
Why don't you keep your eyes closed and just take a giant bite
What makes you so scared?
Well, I guessed he just supposed that you'd be sleeping here tonight
I don't think he really cared
Now won't you please give in and say you'll stay?
You can't win if you won't play
Shake it, you've got to shake it
We've got to make it, make it tonight
Undress me, darling, caress me
I'll die unless we make it tonight
There's so much I need to tell you
But I just can't find the words
I've never felt like this before
And if I say "I love you", you pretend that you've not heard
What are you waiting for?
Oh won't you please give in and say you'll stay?
You can't win if you won't play
Shake it, you've got to shake it
We've got to make it, make it tonight
Undress me, darling, caress me
I'll die unless we make it tonight
Shake it, you've got to shake it
We've got to make it, make it tonight
Undress me, darling, caress me
I'll die unless we make it tonight
I'm glad you found the time to ring
Oh, I just spent all day waiting
I need to know what's happening
Well, at least we both agree
I really don't know where to start
Well, did you say you met some neighbour
I guess I'm heading for a broken heart
Why are you doing this to me?
It's all clear, I can hear
And I'm not going to share you with no-one
Well surprise, I've got eyes
Now goodbye...
How long have you had this planned?
I guess it shows how much you care
No, I understand
I just played the fool
Oh, sure I'm going to let you go
Well I was wrong to ever trust you
But I don't think that I'll ever know
How you could be so cruel
It's all clear, I can hear
But I'm not going to share you with no-one
Well surprise, I've got eyes
Now goodbye...
It's all clear, I can hear
But I'm not going to share you with no-one
Well surprise, I've got eyes
Now goodbye...
The sun's already rising
I guess that's not surprising
Because I find you mesmerizing
We're moving fast
But kissing and caressing
And watching you undressing
Shouldn't be depressing
I know at last
That it's a gas, but my best friend's waiting
So I'm going to pass, but it's so frustrating
I know how you're feeling
Oh sure, you're most appealing
But I'm not double dealing
We're moving fast
You've given me a fever
But I will not deceive her
I'm never going to leave her
I know at last
That it's a gas, but my best friend's waiting
So I'm going to pass, but it's so frustrating
The answer's no, I've got to go
Well I told you so, you won't use me
I couldn't do what you want me to
Because I don't love you
You just amuse me
I hope you're not offended because I never pretended
I guess this night just ended
I know at last
That it's a gas, I'm not hesitating
I'm just going to pass, 'cause it's so frustrating
Because it's such a gas, but my best friend's waiting for me now
I'll stand over here, and when you walk past me again
I'll try and say "hello"
It doesn't look like you are here with anyone
Maybe they've already gone, oh I don't know
I've thought of nothing else today
The things I'd love to say if I got the chance
And oh, how grateful I would be
If you could just give me a second glance
And that's because tonight I've seen you in a different light
Bunny girls and motor cars, swimming pools and movie stars
Just don't amuse me anymore
And I'm not even sure I liked them then
I feel like I'm awakening and I'll do anything
Please just say when
Oh it's all because tonight I've seen you in a different light
Bunny girls and motor cars, swimming pools and movie stars
They can keep it, they can keep it all if only you would call
Tonight I've seen you in a different light
Bunny girls and motor cars, swimming pools and movie stars
They can keep it, they can keep it all if only you would call
They can keep it, they can keep it all if only you would call
And there's something I've got to tell you and I'm not sure how to put it in words
I had a feeling you might have guessed that something's not right
Maybe you've already heard
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Oh please don't start crying, I've not been lying
I just didn't tell you it all
We just talked but then she stopped smiling when she asked me to give her a call
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I'm a big rat, but I get scared when you start talking like that
Why won't you see that she meant absolutely nothing to me?
I can't remember just what happened next but I'm not sure I even had any fun
Oh, she's amusing, but I was so scared of losing you
Well, after all that I've done
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I'm a big rat, but I get scared when you start talking like that
Why won't you see that she meant absolutely nothing to me?
I'm a big rat, but I get scared when you start talking like that
Why can't you see that she meant absolutely nothing to me?
No, I'll just lie here in your warm fur
Oh look, I'm trembling still
I didn't mean to hurt her, oh but I guess I will
Because the pussycat in you brings out the man in me
Oh no I told her last night
She said: "I don't care!", I'm joking, of course
But you know something's not right
Well, for a start, I don't feel any remorse
But how can I resist when she doesn't even know you exist?
You know I never made love like that before
There's nothing else to think of
I just want more and more
Because the pussycats in you brings out the man in me
