One, two, three, four
She walks into the room
She had a new pair of shoes
She was wearing them on her face though
And they were blue
Her lover came behind her
Stumbled over my chair
He rolled me a cigarette and
Touched his hair
It's been a long time comin'
Be a long time still
How can you ask me to wait when
You know I will?
I never knew 'bout love before
Now it's knocking at my door
No I never knew before
Before I met you now!
So please don't let me down
Before I met you now!
So please don't let me down
Everyone's a preacher
And a bookseller too
Not everyone is a teacher
And that is true
But when the lines are blurry
You better use your tact
She ran off with the king of Spain though
And that's a fact
It's been a long time comin'
Be a long time still
How can you ask me to wait when
You're over the hill?
I never knew 'bout love before
Now it's knocking at my door
No I never knew before
So please don't let me down
Before I met you now!
So please don't let me down
Before I met you now!
