lyrics
They walk the walk
They dress the dress
Know how to talk
Play hard to get
If there’s something more
I haven’t seen it yet
But you’re nothing from a magazine
Your clothes are wrong
You talk while you eat
You’re not well read
You watch bad TV
You came and conquered me overnight
No big production, no neon signs
Just you being no one but you
I’ve waited for you a very long time
A state of panic's what I've grown to know
But you keep your balance on your tippy-toes
You came and conquered me overnight
No bells, no baggage, no little white lies
Just you being nothing but you
I’ve waited for you a very long time
So many try it, so few get it right
I’ve waited for you a very long time
