It's Only Been A Week


I was always gonna be single
I could drink what I liked, think what I liked, go for a dance and mingle
The thought of having a girlfriend simply drove me up the wall
The instantaneous texting when I've barely stopped the call
But then one night I saw you and I couldn't believe my eyes
I tried, but I couldn't ignore you - you gave me butterflies
I stopped in my stride, my tongue was tied and when you saw me I went all red
I tried to explain all these thoughts in my brain, but I couldn't
You messed with my head
I tried to give a smile, and ended-up looking like a loser
But if I only smile once, then I'll probably confuse her

I was always gonna be single
I could drink what I liked, think what I liked, go for a dance and mingle
And now I try and kiss your cheek, at every opportunity
It's only been a week, but I guess that's what you do to me
I was always gonna be single
I could drink what I liked, think what I liked, go for a dance and mingle
And now I try and kiss your cheek, at every opportunity
It's only been a week, but I guess that's what you do to me

I even feel nervous as I turn-up Water Lane
I expected it at first, but now it's time and time again
My heart starts beating faster as you open-up the door
I didn't think it possible to like you even more
And even though my jokes are bad, you always seem to laugh
You like my cheesy messages, even though they're naff
You hold my hand in public, and you dance with me in Zone
And you still show this affection, when we spend some time alone

I wondered if you liked me, as I tried to understand
And then a subtle indication, as you took me by the hand
You make me feel dead happy, with everything you do
And the greatest thing of all is that I make you happy too

I was always gonna be single
I could drink what I liked, think what I liked, go for a dance and mingle
And now I try and kiss your cheek, at every opportunity
It's only been a week, but I guess that's what you do to me
I was always gonna be single
I could drink what I liked, think what I liked, go for a dance and mingle
And now I try and kiss your cheek, at every opportunity
It's only been a week, but I guess that's what you do to me

It's only been a week, but I guess that's what you do to me
It's only been a week, but I guess that's what you do to me

It's only been a week, but time can't tell me how to feel
I'm feeling like I love you, and I'm hoping that it's real
