How to start the day ....

lyrics

You hear the end of your sleep
Ringing from out of the deep
Thoughts that you’re thinking
It’s time for you to get up
And make yourself a cup
of whatever she’s drinking
What are you waiting for
The girl was so discrete
She had a technique
That you could not ignore
A chance meeting like you hope
She asks you for a smoke
But you’re no provocateur
What are you waiting for
Now the time I spent with you
was the most forbidden fruit
you’d ever tasted
And when I fall asleep
I thrash around and weep
for all the time I wasted
What are you waiting for?
Before the feeling explodes
You need to write her a note
Stop hesitating
She opens the envelope
And wonders why you moved so slow
It's so frustrating
What are you waiting for
Now the time I spent with you
was the most forbidden fruit
you’d ever tasted
And when I fall asleep
I thrash around and weep
for all the time I wasted
What are you waiting for?
