Lyrics

I don't know what I should do
I've put my whole life on hold cos of you
I've been waiting in line, am I wasting my time?
While you're out on your next rendezvous.

Are you keeping me in reserve?
Well If you are, then you've got quite a nerve
You assume that I'll wait
Well at least let me state
That is something that I do not deserve!

I wish that we could be lovers
I am not sure that we can be friends
While you're keeping me waiting
I know you are dating
and I wish that this circus would end

I am transfixed by your beauty
And I am bewitched by your smile
But I know that you know,
I'd be good for your soul
So why do we have to pretend?

You're driving me, driving me,
Right round the bend

But if I meditate then I can transcend
And rise above the things that you do
Things you're putting me through
So hard for you to defend

I wish that we could be lovers
I am am not sure that we can be friends
While you're keeping me waiting
I know you are dating
and I wish that this circus would end

I am transfixed by your beauty
and I am bewitched by your smile
But I know that you know,
I'd be good for your soul
So why do we have to pretend?

I don't know what I should do
I've put my whole life on hold cos of you
I've been waiting in line, am I wasting my time?
While you're out on your next rendezvous

I wish that we could be lovers
I am not sure that we can be friends
While you're keeping me waiting
I know you are dating
and I wish that this circus would end

I am transfixed by your beauty
And I am bewitched by your smile
But I know that you know,
I'd be good for your soul
So why do we have to pretend?
 
Yes I know that you know,
I'd be good for your soul
So why do we
(Why do we)
Why do we have to pretend?
