about

the unobtainable girlfriend...

lyrics

If I knew you I'd be okay
I promise I'd bend over backwards to please you
Don't be put off by what people say
I know it's true but give me a chance
Is it really so bad, your eyes don't meet mine
If we talked, I'm sure you'd relax

What would I do if you went away
I wonder if I'd forget in a day
To be long-faced it's just not me
I'd just have to throw my love all around
Am I really so bad, I can't sit still
I could stay, I haven't the will

I can't get you
No matter what I do

Why can't you be nice to me
You look down on me so seriously
If I took you to your death
You'd look back and see what a fool you have been
Could it really be true, if thoughts could kill
Everyone moves, you stand still

I can't get you
No matter what I do
What can I do to persuade you?
I can't get you
No matter what I do
