Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you like her
Well, I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
[Verse 2]
There's still room in my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
[Verse 3]
Well, I'd thought about her
I dreamed she'd come, I'd make my escape
I thought she liked me, but somehow I was wrong
I know you don't want it this way
But it's okay
[Verse 4]
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
[Verse 5]
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love, there's no other way
And I will make it someday
[Verse 6]
Well, I know you like her
Well, I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
[Verse 7]
There's still room in my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
[Verse 8]
Visions of love recollected
Have we ever been true?
I know that I have, it's time for you to go
It's all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know
[Verse 9]
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
[Verse 10]
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love, there's no other way
[Verse 11]
People say that we'll never change
We'll never change, but I have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone
