NOT A GOOD TIME RIGHT NOW
i want to fold you up and put you in my pocket so you’re always there
i want to smother you with kisses until my lips are numb
i want to take you in my arms and crush you like a polar bear
i want to do much more but i’m heading for the door cos i’ve got to run
and please don’t ask me if i’ll stay
you know the answer anywaythere’s a message on my mobile phone
asking when i’m coming home
the dinner’s been made and the table laid
i’ve already stayed too long anyhow
but as i kiss her on the cheek and smile
i’ll be thinking of you all the while
can’t wait for the day that we can run away
but it’s not a good time right nowi'm going wrap myself around you like a boa constrictor
i’m going to treat you like queen going to make you my head of state
looking at you now you make a beautiful picture
wish i could stare at you all night, but i’m running late
please don’t ask me if i’ll stay
when you know the answer anywaythere’s a message on my mobile phone
asking when i’m coming home
the dinner’s been made and the table laid
i’ve already stayed too long anyhow
but even though she shares my bed
you are the one who’s in my head
can't wait for the day that we can run away
but it’s not a good time right nowplease understand it’s hard for me
i’ve been with her so long you see
we can’t be lightly pulled apart
even though it’s you who fill my heart
pretty soon we’ll be together
not for an hour but for forever
i’ll find a way to tell her somehow
but it's not a good time right nowcos there’s a message on my mobile phone
asking when i’m coming home
the dinner’s been made and the table laid
and i’ve already stayed too long anyhow
but as i fall into her embrace
i’ll be thinking of your face
can’t wait for the day that we can run away
but it’s not a good time right nowi can’t wait for the day that we can run away
but it’s not a good time right now
