Truly Wise

I've seen a longing in your eyes

I've seen a look that some despise

But when you're not prepared to compromise

Yours is the anguish of the truly wise

Living on the outside

Don't care what people say

They couldn't mess with your pride

You've never been afraid to walk away

I had you in my bed on Sunday

I got to know you

I had you in my head on Monday

You keep pushing me away

Well, be that as it may

I still want you

Life's a long song

I'll get to know a boy like you

One day at a time

One day at a time

You've won but you gave back the prize

When they tried to cut you down to size

So if you ask me now to summarise

Yours is the anguish of the truly wise

Climbing up the outside

Just to get a better view

I'm still on the inside

Just wanna live my life the way you do

I had you in my bed on Sunday

I got to know you

I had you in my head on Monday

You keep pushing me away

Well, be that as it may

I still want you

Life's a long song

I'll get to know a boy like you

One day at a time

One day at a time

From the day I met you

Wanted to be with you

If you want, I'll let you

Make me truly wise

From the day I met you

Wanted to be with you

So just don't forget to

Open up my eyes

From the day I met you

Wanted to be with you

If you want, I'll let you

Take me by surprise

Open up my eyes

You make me truly wise
