From the recording Lottery Of Lovers
Lyrics
I just wanted to dance with you
No. That’s a lie
I wanted to hold you close – kiss you all over
Till the sun lit up the sky
It’s not that you don’t want me
Maybe that’s what makes it worse
It’s a lottery of lovers baby
And she got there first
Although I never met her
I can tell the reason why
When I saw the picture with her cheshire grin
And the stars in her eyes
She’s so cute I said, trying to smile
You said, ‘No woman has loved me this way
In a long long while”
In a world of fairy tales
And balloons that never burst
She must be living in that world
Oooh – cause she met you first
Do you think I’m too simple – maybe
What am I talking about?
You and me – we’ll never be
We’ll never find it out
But sure as you whisper in her ear
Love’s sweet mystery
If I had the lucky number baby
You would be whispering to me
In a world of fairy tales
And balloons that never burst
She must be living in that world
Oooh – cause she met you first
I just wanted to dance with you – all night
I wanted to hold you close – kiss you all over
Underneath the starry skies
It’s not that you don’t want me
Maybe that’s what makes it worse
It’s a lottery of lovers baby
And she met you first Yeah
It’s a lottery of lovers baby
And she got there first
