Could you be the one who drives me to be better?
Helps me realise my dreams of being a sophisticated beggar
I'm going to get older faster than I think
I'll need an arm to link with when I limp

If I go my way
I'll have lonely days
And only one, they say
Will have me saved

Will you be there when I need someone to hold?
Will you make sure I'm not lonely when I'm old?
And I will hope that you will always adore me
And I will hope that you don't die before me

What foolish requests
To expect of someone to be more than second best
There's no wonder why we're left in this confusion
When the culture, it feeds us romantic delusions
