He was too keen, she was quite pretty
Unfortunately they lived in the same city
Too much for her, to less for him
This conflict between them could become a thing
He rings to get involved in the plan he's the man that's always arriving
He rings, the purse is low so she says no
I don't want you buying
I don't want you buying
I don't want you buying
That's her excuse what an excuse
He says the nights on him
Come on it's better than staying in
He says the nights on him
Come on it's better than staying in
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her
Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay
It's got this way of running away when it should stay
They go to the gig, apparently friends
Easy with drink they're kissing by the end
Too quick for her, to slow for him
This tension between them could become a thing
Let's go, be discreet in the dark on the dance floor
Let's go, she looks at her watch, she says no
It's too cold for dancing
It's too cold for dancing
It's too cold for dancing
That's her excuse, what an excuse
He pulls her to him
I'll warm your soul if you let me in
He pulls her to him
I'll warm your soul if you let me in
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her
Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay
It's got this way of running away when it should stay
He loves her face, she knows how to smile
Come back to mine at least for a little while
Too far for her, too close for him
The distance between them could become a thing
For once, she breaks the rules in her head and instead
For once she shows him, how professional she can be in bed
It's time I was leaving
It's time I was leaving
It's time I was leaving
That's her excuse, what an excuse
He grins, letting me love you is not such a sin
He grins, letting me love you is not such a sin
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her
Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay
It's got this way of running away when it should stay
She wants what she can't
She wants what she can't
She wants what she can't
