if you're dreaming of
something better than love
don't set your sights so high
if i knew back then
what i just forgot again
i'd keep you in my...
mind your own business baby
i've got a surprise
you'll find out in a moment
now cover your eyes
and when at last you find me
you're somehow right beside me
what were you expecting, something less or more?
what did you think that you would find behind my door?
can't say that i blame you
i tried my best to tame you
remember when we were new,
before i knew what i was getting with you?
feeling this way i forget what to say
why do you say you love me anyway?
i've got a funny feeling you've got an idea
to lead me back to square one instead of right here
what would it say about me to let you leave without me?
remember when we were new,
before i knew what i was getting with you?
feeling this way i forget what to say
why do you say you love me anyway?
if you're dreaming of
something better than love
don't set your sights so high
if i knew back then
what i just forgot again
i'd keep you in my mind
