歌詞

I'm going to pretend you like me too All of my messages come from you If I keep it up it might even drive you crazy I'm going to pretend you're my squeeze Arm in arm on the Champs Elysee If I keep it up it's the only thing might save me All of my life is a ritual dance, a ritual dance around you And the worship hurts to pieces Touch me here, touch me here on the precious jewel I wear in my head for you That only your hand releases Let me steal your thunder, won't you Let me be your boy wonder, won't you Let me thrill you, will you, won't you And no's not a word we use around here No's not a word we use around here No's not a word we use around here I'm going to pretend you're head over heels Sending me flowers, cooking me meals If I keep it up it might even drive you crazy I'm going to pretend we don't even sleep Bending the bedsprings, dogs on heat If I keep it up it's the only thing that might save me You don't need me creeping around, creeping around your door Like a lovesick labrador You don't need a bird-brain from the bottom of the food chain At the Rory O'More But it's what you'll get for sure Oh let me steal your thunder, won't you Let me be your boy wonder, won't you Let me thrill you, will you, won't you And no's not a word we use around here No's not a word we use around here No's not a word we use around here Oh no's not a word we use around here No's not a word we use around here No's not a word we use around here I said no's not a word No's not a word No's not a word
