Never Like This

Lyrics

[Intro] Wear Wellington boots when you tread into water But what do you do when she's finally caught you You can't just take off or go underground You just have to find yourself another way 'round Been through this before But never like this Her mother is smiling across from the sofa Dad's watching the telly but taking no notice Instead he just plays with some bright colored blocks Occasionally speaks of little girls' frocks Been through this before But never like this Beginning to wish that you'd never met The girl with the far away look in her eyes But to your surprise, she pours you some tea How many lumps, is it two, why not five You suddenly find yourself glad that you came And you're sure that the room doesn't look quite the same And Dad's got you into his bright colored blocks Whilst Mother still smiles in her little girl frock And the girl with the far away look in her eyes Has now become very important in life Been through this before But never like this [Outro]
