Get on with It |
It seems like two months |
'Though I met her tonight |
Something just told me It would work out alright |
So I asked her to act out |
What was there in our heads |
No need for games, babe, |
Let’s hop into bed |
(audience reacts, Harry says, «I figured that’d get ya.») |
That’s when I said |
«Oh, get on with it Let’s get it done |
Life is made up of moments |
Let’s not miss this one |
Oh, get on with it Before it’s too late |
We know where we’re going |
There’s no, no, no, no need to wait.» |
But that’s when she says |
«Let's take it slowly |
You don’t really know me If we make it holy |
Maybe it will last |
What is your hurry |
You don’t need to worry |
The one thing we know |
Is that time, time, time goes too fast.» |
Soon it’s working so well |
I got her moving in All the permanent thoughts |
Already begin |
You see she is the woman |
That I want for my wife |
I say, «Let's set a date, babe, |
And get on with our life.» |
And that’s when I said again |
«Oh, get on with it Let’s get it done |
Life is made up of moments |
Let’s not miss this one |
Oh, get on with it Before it’s too late |
We know where we’re going |
There’s no, no, no, no need to wait.» |
But once again she says |
«Let's take it slowly |
Still you don’t know me If we make it holy |
Maybe it will last |
What is your hurry |
You don’t need to worry |
The one thing we know |
Is that time, time, time goes too fast.» |
I don’t know what happened |
As we moved along |
But all of a sudden |
It came out all wrong |
She said, «It's all over |
Let’s not drag out the end |
If we split up now |
Then at least we’ll stay friends.» |
And that’s when she said |
«Get on with it You know it’s all done |
We had our moments |
Don’t dwell on this one |
Oh, get on with it You know it’s too late |
Oh, yes, it’s all over |
There’s no, no, no, no need to wait.» |
But that’s when I say |
«Let's take it slowly |
You know how you know me And once it was holy |
Don’t give up so fast |
What is your hurry |
You don’t need to worry |
The one thing we know |
Is that time, time, time goes too fast.» |
