Jonathan David
I know you like her
Well, i like her too
I know she likes you
Its not as if im being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
Theres still room in my wooden horse for two
I was jonathan to your david
Youre still king
Well i thought about her
I dreamed she'd come
I'd make my escape
I thought she liked but somehow i was wrong
I know you don't want it this way
But it's ok
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love, there's no other way
And i will make it someday
Well, i know you like her
Well, i like her too
I know she likes you
Its not as if im being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
Theres still room in my wooden horse for two
I was jonathan to your david
Youre still king
Visions of love recolected
Have we ever been true?
I know that i have
It's time for you to go
It's all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love, there's no other way
And i will make it someday
People say that
"we'll never change"
"we'll never change"
But i have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone
I know you like her
Well, i like her too
I know she likes you
Its not as if im being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
Theres still room in my wooden horse for two
I was jonathan to your david
Youre still king
Well i thought about her
I dreamed she'd come
I'd make my escape
I thought she liked but somehow i was wrong
I know you don't want it this way
But it's ok
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love, there's no other way
And i will make it someday
Well, i know you like her
Well, i like her too
I know she likes you
Its not as if im being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
Theres still room in my wooden horse for two
I was jonathan to your david
Youre still king
Visions of love recolected
Have we ever been true?
I know that i have
It's time for you to go
It's all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love, there's no other way
And i will make it someday
People say that
"we'll never change"
"we'll never change"
But i have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone
