Lyrics As You Like It - Siobhan Donaghy

As You Like It

In the descent of man
Heading for extinction
Catch this if you can
I make this prediction
You’re my XY chromosome
And the love between us Is fully blown
That’s why here at home
I’m your one and only
XX alone
Gone for all humanity
A Shakespearean tragedy
We’re all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us Is very nearly blown
And that’s why we are all at home
Feeling lonely
XY, XX alone
(XX alone)
God will all humanity
Fail to find a remedy
We haven’t found a place
Where we can all human kind
We’re all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us Should be fully grown (fully grown)
And that’s why we should be all at home
And never lonely (never lonely)
XY, XX all one
I’m dreaming the meaning of words
And, what do they all mean?
It’s all so absurd
We focus (yeah) on all the worst things
And we’re all full of fear
For what the life brings
You’re my XY (you're my XY) chromosome
And the love between us (between us)
Is fully blown (fully blown)
That’s why (why) here at home
I’m your one and only
XX alone (XX alone)
We’re all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us (between us)
Should be fully grown (fully grown)
And that’s why (why) we should be all at home
And never lonely (never lonely)
XY, XX all one
XX alone (repeated to fade)
