take me to town

if you want to be the one

Tell your mum and tell your dad, and don't tell anybody,
Tell the truth, don't sell no lies, to those that matter to me,
And if you want to be the one, darling don't pretend.

And through the din, tonic and gin, she stands as if she's with me,
And on her face, there's just a trace, of summer in the city,
And if you want to be the one, darling don't pretend.

She says, it's not very far,
She says, its not very far,
She says, its not very far, Away
And if you want to be the one, darling don't pretend.

And I don't know, but I've been told, my friends they talk about you.
She don't seem right, you know last night, I didn't speak to those two
And if you want to be the one, darling don't pretend.

She says, it's not very far,
She says, its not very far,
She says, its not very far, Away
And if you want to be the one,

Then you must understand that it's not up to me,
Yeah it's all in your hands, so come on let it be.

Wednesday nears, the rain the tears, she knows that something's up now,
And on her face, a fading trace, of sun that's shut up shop now.
And if you want to be the one, darling don't pretend.

She says, it's not very far,
She says, its not very far,
She says, its not very far, Away
And if you want to be the one,
And if you want to be the one,
And if you want to be the one, darling don't pretend.
