WITH SOMEONE NICE LIKE YOU
©Trev Teasdel 1980 Coventry.
I torture myself, with pent up fears
I brood a lot
I brew tea for one
I ask myself “How come”
How come I just can’t face the pots.
I tie myself right up in knots,
Chorus
And I long to spend my time
And I long to spend my time
Yes I long to spend my time
With someone nice like you.
I smashed a cup, washing up.
I burnt the toast,
I missed the post.
I ask myself “Whyfore”
Whyfore I haven’t fixed the drafty door.
I’m frozen right through to the core.
Chorus
And I long to spend my time
And I long to spend my time
Yes I long to spend my time
With someone nice like you.
Oh the nights are cold.
Oh the nights are long.
All I do, it comes out wrong.
I wash my clothes but still they pong.
How come I just can’t get it right?
Sadness got me in his long-range sights,
To chorus..
Bridge
When I see a lover by your side,
I turn my love lights low.
Take my part in a melancholy show.
Oh I just don’t know
Don’t know how to show that I just don’t care,
When my feeling set fire to my hair.
To Chorus.
