Let's Not Go There - Gilbert O'Sullivan

In my mind it’s not a problem

I go walking down the street

Every girl that I run into

Say’s it’s me she longs to meet

The reality of course

Could not be further from the truth

And the truth

Let’s not go there

You can talk about coincidence

As something so sublime

When it happens it just happens

To have happened at that time

Like the night you caught your best friend

With the girl you thought was yours

Thought was yours

Let’s not go there

I feel I’ve got it in me

To achieve the right result

Why then with the grades to pass

Everyone but me looks to be in

A different class

If I have so self esteem

Perhaps it has something to do

With the fact that in my mirrors

All the glass has been removed

Not that I don’t like myself I do

But mirrors never lie

Never lie

Let’s not go there

I want to be in your shoes

Don’t care about the size

Want to take the world to task

Yet everything I do just goes from good

To crass

Running round in circles

At the end of the day

First thing in the morning’s nice

You can get from where you are

To where you need

Just like in a cage with mice

At work I’ve made good progress

Promotion beckons soon

Why then when a girl walks past

Every word I utter goes from good

To crass

In my heart it’s open season

You can read it like a book

Turn to pages one to any one

See pictures that I took

There are some where it looks happy

Others where it’s broke in two

Broke in two

Let’s not go there

Had ample opportunities

Grabbed them with both feet

Why then does my empty glass

Make everyone but me look to be in

A different class

You’re at the gates of Eden

Been queuing up for hours

Finally when you’re let in

First you see a sign that says

Look but don’t touch

Then another saying

Keep off the grass
