Lyrics Light Romance - Kiki Dee

Light Romance

There’s a girl inside the woman
Who’s waiting to get free
She’s washed a million dishes
She’s always making tea
They think she’s just a mother with nothing left inside
Who swapped her dreams for drudgery
The day she was a bride
But the dreams were not forgotten
Just wrapped and packed away
In the hope that she could take them out
And dust them off one day
Could I speak to councillor Lyons, please?
There’s a girl inside the woman
And the mother she became
And her half-remembered song comes to her lips again
Eddie, can I talk to ya?
The girl would sing the melody
But the woman stands in doubt and wonders
What the price would be
For letting the young girl out
Yeah, I remember…
(sung)
It’s just a light romance
It’s nothing cruel
They laid no plans
How it came?
Who can explain?
They just said «Hello»
And foolishly they gazed
They should’ve gone
Their separate ways
It’s just the same old song
Nothing cruel
Nothing wrong
It’s just two fools
Who know the rules
But break them all
And grasp at half a chance
To play their part
In a light romance
Loving on the never-never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure
Who’s at the door
Or the price you’re gonna have to pay
It’s just a secret glance
Across a room
A touch of hands
That part too soon
That same old tune
That always plays
And let’s them dance as friends
Then stand apart
As the music ends
Loving on the never-never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure
Who’s at the door
Or the price you’re gonna have to…
