Wonderful Thing

I got lucky
I thought that it would never happen to me
Things I said would never happen
have happened to me
Things I thought were meant for better men than I
Can’t you see
I’m just lucky as, lucky as a man can be
Now I’ve got it, I’ve got to leave it all behind
Now I’ve done it, I’ve got to go and do some time
You’ve got pretty eyes
Colours that I just can’t describe
I know I know
You’ve got everything that money cannot buy
But I’ve just got to lie — the price is too high
It’s a wonderful thing, but I’ve got to leave
And it’s killing me holding this picture of you
It’s a terrible thing — it’s eating me slowly
It’s telling me you’re such a wonderful thing
Yeah it’s telling me you’re such a wonderful wonderful thing
You’ve got pretty eyes
Colours that I just can’t describe
I know I know
You’ve got everything that money cannot buy
But I’ve just got to lie — the price is too high
It’s a wonderful thing, but I’ve got to leave
And it’s killing me holding this picture of you
It’s a terrible thing — it’s eating me slowly
It’s telling me you’re such a wonderful thing
Yeah it’s telling me you’re such a wonderful wonderful thing
It’s telling me you’re such a wonderful thing
And it’s killing me holding this picture of you
It’s a terrible thing — it’s eating me slowly
It’s telling me you’re such a wonderful thing
Yeah it’s telling me you’re such a wonderful wonderful thing
