| He was too keen, she was quite pretty,
|
| Unfortunately they lived in the same city.
|
| Too much for her, to less for him.
|
| This conflict between them could become a thing.
|
| He rings to get involved in the plan he’s the man that’s always arriving,
|
| He rings, the purse is low so she says no.
|
| 'I don’t want you buying'
|
| That’s her excuse what an excuse.
|
| He says the nights on him,
|
| Come on it’s better than staying in ]x2]
|
| Chorus:
|
| She wants what she can’t have, but he can give it to her
|
| Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay,
|
| It’s got this way of running away when it should stay.
|
| They go to the gig, apparently friends,
|
| Easy with drink they’re kissing by the end,
|
| Too quick for her, to slow for him,
|
| This tension between them could become a thing,
|
| Let’s go, be discreet in the dark on the dance floor,
|
| Let’s go, she looks at her watch, she says no.
|
| 'It's too cold for dancing'
|
| That’s her excuse, what an excuse,
|
| He pulls her to him, I’ll warm your soul if you let me in
|
| Chorus:
|
| She wants what she can’t have, but he can give it to her
|
| Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay,
|
| It’s got this way of running away when it should stay,
|
| He loves her face, she knows how to smile,
|
| Come back to mine at least for a little while,
|
| Too far for her, too close for him,
|
| The distance between them could become a thing,
|
| For once, she breaks the rules in her head and instead,
|
| For once she shows him, how professional she can be in bed,
|
| 'It's time I was leaving'
|
| That’s her excuse, what an excuse.
|
| He grins, letting me love you is not such a sin
|
| Chorus:
|
| She wants what she can’t have, but he can give it to her
|
| Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay,
|
| It’s got this way of running away when it should stay.
|
| She wants what she can’t |
