Lyrics

Young man gemini lots of sensitivily Seeks the girl of his dreams sure that eternily's Far too long to wait for the perfect day Far too long to wait for the perfect day Young girl 17 who knows what she could have been Needs a flat urgently for her child, eternity's Far too long to wait for the perfect day Far too long to wait for the perfect day Something i know, something i know Please don't tell me something i know I open my mouth, i try to speak You come for a day and you stay for a week Gentle buisnessman searching for his peter pan Nice house by the park, wrestles with an aching heart Far too long lo wait for the perfect day Far too long to wait for the perfect day Something i know, something i know Please don't tell me something i know I open my mouth i try to speak You come for a day and stay for a week Young mum stuck at home waiting by the telephone Desperate needs a rest, knows that forever is Far too long to wait for the perfect day Far too long to wait for the perfect day Something i know, something i know Please don't tell me something i know I open my mouth i try lo speak You come for a day and stay for a week You took me to heaven i bought you a creme brulee You gave the impression you had so much more to say The pessimist inside me was amazed at what you do I'd need major surgery to change my attitude I don't know what you want I'm a singer not a clairvoyant I don't know what you need it's a mystery to me. Leave it to the businessmen, (to die young) To worry where our future's gone Leave il to the businessmen (to die young) To worry where our future's gone To die young. You were always smiling i was sure it couldn't last But you were so determined to prevent me seeing past The carefree individual you presented the world So how can i identify you undercover girl. I don 't know what you want I'm a singer not a clairvoyant I don't know what you need It's a mystery to me (lo die young) Leave it to the businessmen (to die young) To worry where our future's gone To die young
