Precious Feelings

Tropical cruising Eight weeks at a time Crooning old love songs at the bar every night And serenading OAPs is not where I thought I'd be by now But there's no elegant way to sell out Then something happened at the breakfast buffet I saw an angel spooning bile in onto her plate And my stomach joined in with the water aerobics display I must be sea sick, this will go away That night I was choking out my usual set When I saw you slow dancing with the newly weds And I couldn't sing the chorus, Couldn't spit it out So this is what Elvis was singing about They told me to keep it light and breezy Nobody cares about your precious feelings They said Keep it light and breezy Nobody cares Nobody cares Believe me Let's get off in nowhere in particular Settle down all picket fence and sprinklers Let's leave this all behind We'll smooth sail to nowhere in particular All my friends say I'm being ridiculous I do this every time And by the time we reach St Petersburg You'll be gone and another taken lover will get on and You'll never see me again I get off at ten But I'll be all smiles once in winter Keep it light and breezy Nobody cares about my precious feelings They said Keep it light and breezy Nobody cares, nobody Calm down baby don't freak out I have no one else to daydream about I'll be crying over somebody else next week We're in the middle of the ocean but it's not that deep
