Becoming More Like Alfie

Lyrics

[Intro] Are you all settled in? Right, then we can begin. My name is... Alfie! [Verse 1] Once there was a time When my mind lay on higher things And once there was a time I could find pretty words to sing But now, well now I find It saves time to say what you mean I know it seems so unrefined But it's time to let off some steam [Chorus] Oh come on! Everybody knows that "no" means "yes" Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S But the more I look through them the more I see I'm becoming more like Alfie [Verse 2] Once there was a time When a kind word could be enough And once there was a time I could blindfold myself with love But not now—now I'm resigned To the kind of life I had reserved For other guys less smart than I Oh you know: the kind who will always end up with the girls [Chorus] And besides Everybody knows that "no" means "yes" Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S But the more I look through them the more I see I'm becoming more like Alfie Oh come on! [Outro] I'm becoming more like Alfie
