Phil Gould - Truly Wise Lyrics

I've seen a longing in your eyes
I've seen a look that some despise
But you're not prepared to compromise
Yours is the anguish of the truly wise

You've been on the outside
Each and every day
They couldn't mess with your pride
You've never been afraid to walk away

I had you in my bed on Sunday
I got to know you
I've had you in my head from Monday
You keep pushing me away
Well, be that as it may
I still want you
Life's a long song
I'll get to know a boy like you
One day at a time

You won but you gave back the prize
When they tried to cut you down to size
So if you ask me now to summarise
Yours is the anguish of the truly wise

Climbing up the outside
Just to get a better view
I'm still on the inside
And I'm still learning things you always knew

I had you in my bed on Sunday
I got to know you
I've had you in my head from Monday
You keep pushing me away
Well, be that as it may
I still want you
Life's a long song
I'll get to know a boy like you
One day at a time

From the day I met you
Wanted to be with you
If you want I'll let you
Make me Truly Wise

From the day I met you
Wanted to be with you
Just don't forget to
Open up my eyes

From the day I met you
Wanted to be with you
If you want I'll let you
Take me by surprise

From the day I met you
Wanted to be with you
Just don't forget to
Open up my eyes

From the day I met you
Wanted to be with you
If you want I'll let you
Make me Truly Wise
