Get Up And Go - David Gedge, Cinerama, Terry De Castro

When, finally, I wake up you’re removing last night’s makeup

You turn your head and then crawl back into bed

There’s an element of danger sleeping with a complete stranger

But I confess, I’m so glad that you said yes

Because the moment I saw you I knew, and I swore you’d be mine

Because you looked divine

And I can’t help myself yawning;

we didn’t sleep 'til five this morning

Is this for keeps?

Well at least 'til your mobile beeps

You take an age to read it and then immediately delete it

I didn’t see the text but I know what’s coming next

«I've got to change these sheets before he returns and learns that I’ve been

doing this

I’m sorry I’ve ruined it, but, God, I just couldn’t stop!»

I’m so glad you didn’t

Until you got that call you didn’t mention him at all

And I’m so glad you didn’t

OK, it wasn’t right but it was such a perfect night

So I help you hide my presence;

it reminds me of my adolescence

But this isn’t fun;

it feels like your boyfriend’s won

But why are you so remorseful?

Look, it just happened and of course you will feel low, because you didn’t say

no

And I’m so glad you didn’t

Until you got that call you didn’t mention him at all

And I’m so glad you didn’t

OK, it wasn’t right but it was such a perfect night

I’m so glad you didn’t

Until you got that call you didn’t mention him at all

And I’m so glad you didn’t

OK, it wasn’t right but it was such a perfect night
