Holding you, you holding me,
Everyone could see we were in ecstasy.
Making love against the wall,
Feeling very small when we didn’t need to be.

Easy now; don’t let my love flow out of you.
Please remember that I want you to come too.

Oh my darling, help me please.
When I’m without you I fall down and graze my knees.
I look so funny and I feel sad,
Your love is all I’ve ever had, so please don’t tease.

Yesterday, you know tomorrow,
Could it be I’ll have to borrow someone new?
I know that I’m the one to blame,
But all the same, there must be something you can do.
